I… really don’t know how to feel about this book. (Yes, I do. I did NOT like it, even if it was diverting.) This feels very much like a draft of a completed novel. There are autocorrect errors, the word “ginormous” is used too often for me to think that any editor ever read it, and the sentences and actions are often scattered and don’t relate to the expected thought processes. It’s very much like someone was writing half of it as quickly as their brain flitted from thought to thought. That doesn’t really work in a book like this. 

I really wanted to like this one. It was entertaining (?) and diverting, but the romance is inherently toxic, and also entirely nonsensical. The characters keep doing things that don’t get explained, so it became harder and harder to follow or really care what was happening. In the end, I just don’t really care about what happens to the characters, either. And that’s a pretty big kiss of death for me with any book. 

Frankly? I’m a bit surprised I actually read it all the way through. 

One star for it giving me a distraction from the insanity of the world right now, and the shock of having actually finished a book I really wanted to DNF.
