Thoughts

I really liked the concept of this. It maybe wasn’t executed perfectly and could have done with a bit of editing but it kept me reading, whipped through it very quickly. The structure of the novel meant everything happened in quite a compressed timeline so it all felt a little bit more intense than it needed to but if you suspend your disbelief for the season, then it was a good read with a happy ending.
