2.2 / 5 *ੈ✩‧₊˚

I'll be honest, it's been a while since I read this book so my mind isn't totally clear on why I disliked it so much. It just felt like everything was mashed together in the weirdest ways. The plot twist made sense and I did see it coming, but it wasn't very satisfying.

I've heard that this author often does this in her books, particularly ‘The Paris Apartment' (thanks to those who commented telling me to avoid it.)

It's a shame because I loved the world. Dark and stormy? 100% my thing. Cultish frat boys? Not really my thing.

I do understand how it all tied together, but getting there was so confusing, I felt like I was reading a million short stories compiled together and it wasn't intentional.

I might give the Paris Apartment a shot to kind of see, because I do think this had a lot of potential.

Would I recommend this? No unfortunately ):
