Every Exquisite Thing

for a moment i thought it was the other penny that had killed them they would have been a good plot twistokay yeah i liked that such a solid book not 5 star material but still really goodsomehow the copious amount of like "realisation talk" (if you know what i mean idk) at the end wasn't annoying it was actually sweet and like i was actually affected by itweirdly i liked the kinda cliffhanger unsolved element which i usually hate it just kinda made it really mysterious and elusive and up to your own interpretationthe romance was so sweet i thought it was going to be like a rivals to lovers thing with davina when i started it but i way preferred the kinda sweet penny getting the soft love she lacks vibe and we stan catalinai didn’t entirely understand the whole other world part but it was a really great twisty plot like i would never ever have predicted that so fucking goodthere were some cheap suspense tricks and idk how she immediately deduced that her mum killed the painter idk where that came from it confused mei love and hate that she didn’t find a way to save her mother like it was a bittersweet ending which made it resonate more and seem more meaningful in a way but i do kinda wish she had been able to find a way to save all of themi was so compelled by this book like when i was reading it i didn't have the urge to put it back downyeah loved this book and i will buy anything lauren steven writes
