Review:

I read it in less than a day! This book is for young adults buyt suited me rather well. Taking the myth of Dr. Jeckyl and Mister Hyde was a great idea and immediatly spoke to me. The potion is going to help Jill to become more balanced and confident. Tristan is endearing because he’s just a boy who’s looking for a solution to his problem. We can actualy see him fight against his fate to stay with Jill. The writing is great and the chapters quite small which always give you the need to turn the next page. Some parts are rather obvious but the characters and their love story is well writen! The alternate narration between Jill and Tristan is interesting. In a nutshell, it’s great!
