Okay, it took me a bit to get into this book. Honestly, the first time I picked it up, I just tossed it back on my TBR because I couldn’t vibe with the story at all. The second time around, it felt like a slow slog, which was kind of annoying. And with the World Cup going on, it totally distracted me with all those exciting matches, so I barely had any time to read each day. Because of that, it took me over a week to finally finish the book, and my mind was often drifting back to the games instead of focusing on the plot. But once I really got into it and dove deep into the characters and their journeys, I loved it! The way the author spun the plot was super captivating. And that betrayal at the end? You’ll never see it coming; it flipped my expectations upside down and left me completely stunned!
