[Aly]

It's the summer before college and four best friends—Amelia, Chase, Cleo, and Logan—are on the first leg of their road trip inspired by the unique tarot deck that Amelia inherited from her grandmother. However, their trip full of visiting occult shops, bonding and sightseeing, takes a major detour as the friends discover that their tarot deck is more valuable—and coveted—than they could've ever imagined. As the friends race to finish this mystical scavenger-hunt across the West coast and uncover the mysteries of their tarot deck, it is you who will decide where to go next and how the story will end. With four possible final and romantic endings, you will get to make actual choices to further the friends’ road trip adventure in this unique interactive novel.

​Will you uncover the mysteries of the tarot deck and the legacy left behind? Will you help Amelia and Chase learn and grow? And will you unravel the secrets these friends keep from each other—and from themselves?

Part 1: (view spoiler)[Well this tarot adventure is kind of fun. I'm totally playing the game of choices and seeing where this book is going to take me. I'm also glad that I was super suspicious of Maggie because he was so freaking fishy. Now that people are following them? Yeah, he's fishy AF. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Part 2: (view spoiler)[Honestly... I get why Logan said what he said because college is a whole new world. It's where people explore. But I also get why Chase is upset. Other than that, this little tarot trip is entertaining. I definitely cheated and saw what each outcome was (like what door I would enter and everything else that followed after). (hide spoiler)]

Part 3: (view spoiler)[I can't believe he took her cards and fucking sold them. What a twat. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finish: (view spoiler)[Well, well.. this was a fun interactive book. I liked making the choices for the characters and then seeing what the consequences were. It definitely made the adventure that more exciting. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I had to read through the app. At first, I wasn't following the game and was just reading whatever but I didn't want things to repeat anymore. Honestly.. not even sure if I picked the right pages lol now that I'm actually thinking about it.

Oh ok so that helps lol, I’ll just go through the whole thing, I’m used to being confused by books, perhaps this will give it an added challenge 🤣

Part 1 (view spoiler)[This is impossibly challenging to read and I feel like it’s taking the fun out of it for me. I do think it’s cool that they are on a tarot card scavenger hunt. It’s also a nice way to honor her grandma. (hide spoiler)]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[Can’t believe Anwar betrayed her like that. I’m glad they got the card back but I didn’t think that Rosa lady was so bad and yet they did the same to her lol. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I got both of them too, it was impossible to pick sides. (hide spoiler)]

Part 4 Chase (view spoiler)[I’m so glad Logan came back, not only did he rescue them but he and Chase needed to sort out their sh*t (hide spoiler)]

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Done (view spoiler)[can’t say I loved this as it was so hard to read. I liked the concept and found it interesting but it was too confusing keeping the storylines straight while reading all the possibilities. It was cute and left in a hopeful spot but I’m not 100% getting what we’re supposed to have taken from the book 🤷🏼‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I agree, i did enjoy it but it was the arc copy and the NetGalley app that ruined it for me. It was hard to keep up when knowing both options and how they didn’t always mesh together with the overall story if that makes any sense lol glad u enjoyed it!
