Reading this book was an experience I thoroughly lost myself in. I got sucked in and didn't want to get out.

. The reading experience left me tying knots and webs all over the pages. It is fair to say I was never surprised, however I was pleased by the way the plots made sense and connected with one another. I disliked some of the characters but I feel like this was also sort of the intention of the author maybe? You can't understand everyone around you and I don't feel like we have to. In the end though everyone has their own things to go through and we never know what happens behind the "perfect" faรงade. ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† 5 ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€? โญ This book greatly incorporates literary techniques in its writing and I felt pleased to spot them sometimes. I loved how fast paced and guiding the structure was and I was able to finish this within 2.5 days. I kinda wished some characters would've had more focus in the end but that is only a personal wish.
