adventurous dark emotional mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I have no doubt that some of the story went over my head, what stood out most to me (besides the ending,  ofc) was that Leila would rather believe in an apocalypse than that she killed her family

I know this book is in, because after listing to it, I was fully sucked in. Questioning if it is real and I am suffering from derealization and don't notice the world around me.  Honestly such a good book and made my brain just go . . . .
