this was a wilddd ride! idk how i feel about the writing style and some of the teen lingo was painful lol but the concept is so good... i really liked the twist when you realize

addy has the power all along and that beth isn't the villain at all

... super interesting concept + execution.

i will say the arc with

beth lying about being assaulted??

felt reallyy strange but maybe that can be put up to

addy's unreliable narration.

 

would recommend to anyone with a very strong sense of self and definitely not to the age this is about 😭

If you're someone who's into Mean Girls or The Duff (both happen to be movies, lol.)  AND also like some high school drama then you'd 1000% love this book.
