Okay… this book was a bit of a tangle but I tore through it in under a week.

The main characters are (intentionally) messy caricatures — and this book has me questioning my aversion to the unlikeable narrator trope. I rolled my eyes throughout but I laughed just as much.

TL;DR Leo & Scorpio narrators

Lighthearted occasionally fun read. Astrology is fun and this book takes lots of jabs to prove that that's all it really is. I usually love reading about flawed characters but Emily and Dawn leaned far too into cartoon villain characteristics to be taken as anything but. Cinnamon was the true star of the book.

Author left enough clues about the plot twist so the anticipation of the characters finding out was perfectly anxiety-inducing.

Enjoyable even through the Libra slander but a word of caution to avoid the Audiobook version at all costs!

this book is terrible. it's such horrible writing. i'm not completely unconvinced this is just a polished version of a bot-composed novel--an AI that was solely fed social media exchanges from millennials and garbage reality television. and the narration--egads!! it was the worst. bot-like as well.
the frequent support for elon musk and roman polanski was an odd choice. the characters were all insufferable (with the exception of cinnamon).
just ...yikes.
