Hmmm🤔
My first Natasha Preston read. I liked it. However....sometimes the characters made me mad, and the ending had me like I know it's not just gonna end like this 🤦🏽♀️ It was a definite page turner because I had to see how it worked out. It read more like a YA so there weren't any plot twists, yet I still found it enjoyable.

Reading Natasha Preston for the first time was quite an interesting experience. While the storyline felt like a typical young adult novel without many unexpected plot twists, it was still incredibly engaging. The characters, although sometimes frustrating, added depth and realism to the story, reflecting the complexities often found in youth. One aspect that stood out was how the narrative maintained suspense, compelling me to continue reading until the very end. Even though the conclusion felt a bit abrupt and left me wanting more, it sparked my curiosity about Preston's other works, especially given her reputation as a #1 New York Times bestselling author of titles like The Cellar and The Twin. For those who enjoy light, fast-paced summer reads or are part of vibrant communities like #readersoftiktok and #lemon8bookclub, this book offers a satisfying blend of relatable themes and accessible storytelling. It’s a reminder that sometimes a book doesn’t need wild twists to be enjoyable; the journey through the characters' emotions and growth can be just as compelling. If you’re considering diving into Natasha Preston’s novels, I’d recommend starting with this one to get a feel for her writing style. It also inspired me to explore how contemporary YA books address real-life issues while keeping readers hooked with suspense and drama. Overall, this read was a worthwhile addition to my summer reading list, and I’m excited to see how Preston’s storytelling evolves in her other books.
