I wanted to like this so so so bad. The cover is STUNNING, the summary looked just like my cup of tea.... unfortunately it wasn't.
Everything happens way to fast, i know it's described as low stakes but damn were the stakes barely there. Sybil was absolutely the most annoying rich girlie ever, and Esme was just there to be autistic (which is very good, but it sucks that she was just there to love clocks and need a plan when she's a main character). Idk it just went too fast and i found myself not caring about the characters or the plot.
