Yesss I'm so EXCITED to be seeing Whitethorn up close!! Ever since the first mention of "another school but it's the inverse" I've been soooooo curious. I definitely didn't imagine it would have such...intense prison vibes, woof. But that tracks I guess. Totally devastated that instead of a new character we're following Cora here not because of like, it being a bad thing quality wise but because I love Cora and I don't want to see her suffer and I fear I'm going to 😭

I've had a bit of an epiphany whilst reading this. A lot of previous readers have commented on how they've appreciated the way in which the writing conveys the tension and dread the characters are feeling, but I personally wasn't getting that from the text and was wondering if I was missing something or if the book just wasn't hitting for me the way I expected it to.
But upon reflection, I've realized the way the story comes across to me feels more like brain fog, like the characters just kind of floating through, trying to move forward to reach their goals, but their thoughts and actions feel incomplete. Which feels very apt considering the delirium one would experience as a result of slowly starving to death. The lack of nutrition is literally preventing them from completing their thoughts or taking clear and concise action.

The overdone prose in these works better in some than others and this one just didn't quiiiiite hit it but! Who cares, it was about Jack again 🥰 So I loved it! As someone who recently found out they have OCD I find Jack so relatable; our particular neuroses are different but the way her brain fights her is very similar. And the scene where she's dressing and her brain is going like a runaway truck downhill and she says "No!" out loud, and then "Try harder." Relatable!!

I need more people to read this book. Great flawed MCs in a futuristic very corrupt capitalist society with even more secrets going on. The depth as well as the push and pull really stand out in this story. More cyberpunk romance please!
