"I read the first and second book and they were both good. Good story and plot, interesting world.I just kinda fell out of it and lost interest in it after I finished the second one. 7/10⭐"

"Sooo good!! I couldn’t put it down! Really makes you think about the damage beauty standards can have and also encourages you to look deeper at who you are inside. I felt like I got to know myself better as I got to know the characters. Highly recommend :)"
