✨ARC REVIEW✨

⭐️Overall rating: 10/10

“Take the drug. Let go. Give into the vibe.”

I would have finished this book in one sitting, but mom life calls 😂. I went into this not knowing what to expect, and as I read it, I still never knew what to expect. It’s like my mind couldn’t comprehend everything that was happening but in a good way? I don’t know but I was absolutely HOOKED from the start with this one.

Please and as always remember to review trigger warnings before reading!! This read is officially out June 23rd, go pre-order it now and get your hands on this bad boy!!
