This book made my stomach hurt in an uncomfy way but I liked it

The story is what is keeping me going. The writing- and Grace’s very YA inner monologue are often very cringe at times. However I heard this improved in the 2nd book-so I’m going to ride it out!

This was.. an experience. While reading this I didn’t know if I was going to keep going with the series and I still don’t. So many aspects of this book were laughable, and I did laugh, but it was entertaining albeit a little irritating too.
I found myself thinking of other shows and books that felt similar to the story before they were actually referenced by name in the book. An interesting choice. I get this is YA, but the insta-love trope within the span of a week? A little weak. I also got sick of Grace’s thought process being a little too advanced (emotional intelligence wise) for someone who is supposed to be 17. When I was 17 I struggled to think half of the thoughts Grace had when it came to other people and accepting that other people have problems too. Definitely some eyebrow raises were involved while reading.
All in all I guess it did what it set out to do, so I can’t fault it for that. But damn do I really want to read another monster of a book to find out more??

1. I wouldn't mind if this book was half or even twice as short as she was. If I read it and didn't listen to the audio, while I was sick, I think I would have done it. Even though in the end I'm kind of happy that it was how it was.
2. I didn't like that in half of the book main character was clueless and no one explained to her shit.
3. I needed a book that is not very important, especially when you are sick and fall asleep while listening, but oh well I got better I started to go with my phone everywhere... So it IS interesting.
4. Some scenes were "wtf", and some were cute. I didn't expect that YA could have so much romance.
5. The fighting scene in the last chapters was intriguing...
6. I kind of spoiled a little bit with Fanart. But now I'm intrigued as to what will happen next. J just hopes that Grace can be happier with "someone else".
7. Idk. but Grace and J - something is not it. I liked them at first, but idk... J is not the best. I would much like Grace would have a better relationship, not a toxic one with H.
