I finished this book in three days?!?
When starting this book I did think It has a slow start. I also feel as if the Freida did a good job building up the story to where I always had questions about something. I do feel like there is a lot of plot twists and things that I just utterly did not expect to happen. ⭐️Overall rating: 4/5
