My Rating: 
- Incredible mini! Truly an underrated gem
- Super fresh take on a worn-out trope: FL is stuck in a story & fighting against fate
- Acting, production, plot & plot twists were great
- True anti-hero FL who chooses herself over everyone else again & again
- I usually don't love angst but the way they did it here was phenomenal
- Only con was some pacing issues midway into the story, the beginning & ending are both very strong
