This story draws you in and keeps your attention to the last page!
At times it did feel a bit forced from a diversity perspective.

4.0

Enjoyable. A little silly sometimes. I was at least moderately invested in the characters. I guessed who it was about halfway through the book, but there was something at the end that I was surprised by. Good mix of a fun plot and characters. 

I listened to the audiobook format. Narrators were good- Bronwyn annoyed me a little and at first Addie sounded robotic, but she gets better. Cooper and Nate were good.
