verdict

if you love first love, forbidden romance, and stories that completely capture what it feels like to fall in love at sixteen, don't skip this one. just know it gets much darker as the story unfolds and ends on a cliffhanger.

vibe

the first half feels like young love in its purest form. fast, messy, all-consuming. then everything changes. five years pass, they're forced back into each other's lives, and the yearning somehow hurts even more than it did the first time.

spice

sexual assault, violence, murder, grief, loss of a parent, persecution, war, and trauma.

standalone + hea

not a standalone. the lies of lena is book one of the otacian chronicles and ends on a cliffhanger, so the hea will have to wait.

i couldn't put this book down. it made me remember exactly what it feels like to fall in love at sixteen, then broke my heart and left me desperate for book two.
