10/10. you need to read this now!!!
so about a month ago i posted this book that i was reading for my book club. i did not expect the post to kind of blow up but so many people said this book was amazing and to post my review when i was finished with it.
well i finished it yesterday and oh. my. gosh.
this has got to be one of the best books i have ever read. the entire book i was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next thing to happen. when i thought it was over it was just getting started. this book was so well written and grady hendrix did a phenomenal job with this story telling.‼️ (small spoiler up ahead)
i felt as if it was rushed when it jumped 3 years but then i really understood the importance of that time jump to the plot. there were some parts where i had to take a break from reading for a few minutes because it was too much (iykyk) and i really understood the “this book is not for everyone” warning but i still enjoyed it. ive been in such a reading slump this year and i think this was the book to pull me out. if you have not read this book GO READ IT!!!
if anyone has any similar books for me to read please comment them! and if you’ve read the book let me know what you think in the comments!
