It was a fund book to read. however the author had a tendency to repeat herself in a way that suggested she didn’t trust the reader to remember basic key details. i’m not sure if this was the result of missed cuts in editing or if it was intentional, but it took away from the enjoyment of the book. then, crucial moments of discovery were kind of glossed over and left out of the book.  this book has an interesting premise and good thematic potential, i just don’t think it reached it. the dialogue was very funny though and the characters were delightful.

I'm crying, but they're mostly happy tears, I think. I knew going into this that I loved Ashley Poston's writing. What I didn't realize was how much this book would affect me. And I don't have all the words right now, but I hope I will someday. Because this book is magical, and I hope you love it as much as I do. Thank you, Ashley, for writing such an absolutely magical book.
