'Zenith' by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings | book review

By Julita Stefaniak - January 20, 2020
Rating: 1.75/5 Goodreads link: Zenith Read in: Polish (physically), English (audiobook) Dates read: 05/12/19 - 07/01/20 It's been a while since I've finished this book, so I don't know how well (or badly) this review is gonna go.
