Wow. I didn't expect to read this book for hours and lose track of time. I was immersed in the story for almost its entirety. There were some lulls in the story and action that made my rating teeter closer to 4 stars but overall, and considering the very satisfying ending, I decided to give it 5 stars. The writing style, character development, and world building were great. The plot was quite unique and told gracefully. The transitions between the alternating points of view were crafted with expertise, blending the story together seamlessly. I was hoping to get a few chapters of Tate's POV at one point but after finishing the book, I see it wasn't necessary. The gorgeous cover absolutely matches the vibe of the story. The title is OK; it could have been named something with more strength or passion. I don't think I've heard of this author before but she's definitely on my radar now. Thank you to Bookish First for offering this title in their catalogue. This review is entirely my own.
