Reviewed by Camillespoilers!! so i still think that holiday and michael are supposed to be together.... but I might be wrong now idk
Reviewed by Amanda GrafI guess I just had high expectations and wanted to read some tongue twisting plot twists but that was an easy read without any real action or excitement. But I like the characters, especially the main character Michael but also Eliza, Jasper and Holiday. But I expected the end more exciting, I wanted to read how all things fall together and that there’s some big mastermind behind it all but instead the end was a bit disappointing. After I complained about all this I also have to praise the writing style. I loved how Linden’s pov was described and liked to know what he thought. I also like the rich life atmosphere, especially during watching gossip girl. With a bit more plots this book could’ve easily been a 5⭐️
