I struggled with the ending of this one. Up to about 70% all was good but then the protag just stopped... doing anything? About her situation? She went from chasing her stalker down at night with a kitchen knife to

being outed on social media and just doing nothing about it?? Like he threatens her that she's out of time and she just... goes to the competition like it will sort itself out?

. I don't know the lack of agency really took the wind out of my sails on enjoying this one all the way through.
But overall a fun, quirky read that I (mostly) enjoyed!
