The concept of storytelling through emails and letters immediately drew me in, and I was genuinely excited to read this, especially with all the praise it received on TikTok. Unfortunately, it didnāt quite live up to my expectations. I found Cybil rather entitled and condescending at times, which made it difficult for me to truly empathise with her character.
