This is absolutely a 5 star read, I started the book on a Saturday around 5:30 pm, finished it on Sunday. I couldn’t put it down, the plot is so exciting, the good characters are actually good people, green flags, not toxic people disguised as oh but they’re just misunderstood. The twists are amazing, I love the interviews, the pictures, the extra content really helps the suspension of disbelief. I love the writing style, I immediately went back to the bookstore to buy the rest of the trilogy.

4.5 because it was an enjoyable read and I was able to finish it in a few days with ease. One qualm I had is that Pip and Ravi's relationship kind of came out of nowhere.

"I don't know who I am when I'm not working" -- relatable lol

I can't believe how much I enjoyed this YA book! I usually stay away from YA fiction but this was well done. I loved Pip as a protagonist, the pacing was good, and the twists kept things interesting and fresh! I look forward to reading the sequel
