I finished Punk 57. It was an ok read, but not a favorite. I’m in a book slump, so I will definitely check this one out.

This series is bumpy for me even if it’s my favorite. The first was slightly boring to me, the second had too much going on for Persephone that she could handle,but I fell in love with the third book it was my favorite. I hope you enjoy this❤️
