1.5

This genuinely may be the worst book I’ve ever read. The writing, ending, character development, and story are just bad. It was the kind of bad that may be cringe and sigh with disappointment more than once. I unfortunately cannot recommend this book to anyone I want a cordial relationship with.

2.5

Ended up giving it a 2.5. I started reading it and almost dnf after the first couple of chapters but then had a long drive so put the audiobook on. Adam's chapters/narration kept me in, it was actually kind of funny in places (not sure if it was meant to be), but Sarah's chapters and narrator were not good. I would have evened it out with a 3, but the ending made me roll my eyes so hard I was in danger of driving off the road. (This scenario is more plausible than this book).
