"This book was really enjoyable once I got invested. It’s funny and concept is really interesting. My only gripe is the ending. It felt really abrupt and not fully complete ? But aside from that this was a really good read !! :)"

"Actual rating- somewhere between 2.5 and 3 ⭐. I think my reason for the lower rating was simply that I wasn't fond of how the story progressed and unfolded towards the end. 🤷🏻♀️"
