UG I wanted to dislike this book so bad. It’s weirdly overwritten and dramatic and the male main character is so cliche, for me it seemed like it’d be like a more hunger games focused Shatter Me. But it wasn’t. For some odd reason, I loved this book so much and blew through it really fast, and got really invested and attached to the characters. Kai is oddly heartwarming, Kitt is an interesting look on what can happen when you do nothing but seek approval, and I kind of adored the way Paedyn ruthlessly gaslight, gatekeep, girlbossed her way through everything.
