I learned of this book from videos on Tiktok and was interested to see if the book was as good as proclaimed. I have to say the videos did not do it justice. The story is well written and pulls you in from the beginning and holds you the entire way. Solid characters, great storyline and honest mistakes that show flaws and character growth. Well done and thanks for a great read. I can not wait to see where it leads next.
I've been following these characters for a bit now on TikTok and love some of the scenes played out. When I found out that they was a book, I became ecstatic and jumped on it as soon as possible. Despite a couple grammatical errors and how rush a couple scenes were; all in all, I loved it. I can't wait for more.
