This book had me hooked with its unexpected twists and turns, constantly keeping me guessing—and failing to predict what would happen next. Its unpredictability kept me on edge and eager to see how the story would unfold, leaving me even more excited to finish the series. As an Asian, I found the themes of being surrounded by relatives, navigating family business drama, and even dealing with boy drama incredibly relatable, which made the story feel all the more personal and engaging.
