Given

three stars for trying to sell us on Given being the protagonist when really she was third wheeling (not by choice) all along

some other review said that Given is a sidecharacter in their own lovestory and that is the truest statement of this book you'll ever find

it felt more like this story was about Laurent and Varick and Given accidentally stumbled into the story. honestly, i feel sorry for the poor woman

the world building and lore was actually interesting but since it focuses so heavily on the relationship aspect i'll also let it reflect more in my rating
