Goodreads Synopsis:

Clare and Zari are best friends. They write music together, go everywhere together, and they know everything about the other. At least they did before Zari started dating Dion. The more Zari falls for Dion, the less she has time for anything else. At first, Clare chalks it up to a new and exciting relationship, and she tries to be happy for her friend despite her loneliness. When Zari starts to show up to school with half-hidden bruises, Clare knows there's something darker about this relationship that has to be stopped

Book Review:

Pre-reading Thoughts:

I was scrolling through NetGalley the other day and I found my way to this book. I think that this book will talk about some serious topics and I am intrigued to see how the author deals with the topics.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, I liked this book. It was written in prose and done really well. However, I did find it difficult to differentiate between the two main characters in the beginning. There is no clear distinction between the two. The reader had to determine that themselves by sorting through the details of the story, The story itself was heartbreaking. The way that people treat each other is the main theme of the book. The book deals with topics from abuse and isolation to loneliness and companionship. I think this book makes for an interesting and eye-opening read. Trigger warning, there is abuse in this book. Thank you so much to NetGalley and West 44 Books for providing me with a review copy of this book!

Yours in Reading,
