*I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review* 


I very rarely DNF books, but I have to admit that I was close to it with this one.
 I've been reading through some of the reviews and a lot of people seem to enjoy this book a lot, but that wasn't my experience. 
 I had several issues with it, firstly and probably what made it so hard for me to enjoy, is simply that I didn't like any of the characters.
 Of course , this is a highly personal opinion and other people could like the main character and the supporting cast, but for me ai found the MC unlikeable and felt as if there wasn't any real depth to the supporting characters. 
 On top of this there were parts that didn't sit well with me in terms of how some people acted, with no real attempt at showing their behaviour as negative.
 And one thing that, most people probably wouldn't care about, but I was finding really annoying, was the constant reference to things such as social media sites, companies, etc.
 I understand this book is set in the modern day where things like Instagram, LinkedIn etc are used regularly, even daily by a huge amount of people. However, to me at least, it seemed like these things were being mentioned with a frequency that didn't seem necessary and for some reason it bothered me.
 Overall, this book was not for me and that's not to say that it was entirely bad, and as other reviews have shown, a lot of people did enjoy this book. I, unfortunately just wasn't one of them. 

hopeful lighthearted fast-paced


*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review* 


The premise of this book had me so interested and excited, which is exactly why I requested a copy.
 For me, though, the execution fell a little flat which was disappointing. 
 I found it incredibly hard to get into this book, connect with the characters or get excited about the story.
 There were moments that were good, mostly towards the 40-60% mark, but unfortunately, I then found the ending to be a little rushed.
 In general I felt like the pacing was off. At times feeling slow and then racing over other important things that I would have liked to have explored in more depth.
 Honestly, this book has so much promise and with a little more development of the characters and the story. I think it could be amazing.
