TDJ does it again!!! I listened to this audiobook in less than a day. I could barely take my headphones off. This story is gripping, heartbreaking, and so moving. I was immediately drawn to Enchanted and how desperately she wanted her dreams to be reality. I can honestly say that even with the story beginning in the present and TDJ taking us back to the beginning for nuance, context, and incredible storytelling, I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen. I felt like I had emotional whiplash from everything that happened in this book. I was a wreck! It is so fast-paced that I felt like I could not breathe, until I knew exactly how the story ended. Enchanted goes through so much in this book, as does her family and friends 😭 Jackson is definitely a new favorite author of mine after reading this and The Weight of Blood. I cannot wait to read more of her work!
