This one took me FOREVER to read through no fault of its own but was very fun! I found the world trippy but super cool and am excited to see where things go in the rest of the trilogy!

YOOOOO I COMPLETELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
I think my biggest mistake, whether when I want to start a book that seems interesting or after I finish one I completely loved (like this one), is reading reviews. When I see more negative ones than positive I start to ask myself 'Did I really enjoy it?' I don’t know why I let other's opinions get to me like that ugh… maybe I should stop reading reviews and that's it lmaooo

Anyway, my first thought was 'Ohhh The Night Circus meets Alice in Wonderland' but it became a story of its own quickly. I read it in like 2 days and a half, couldn’t put it down. I’m dumb as f*ck so I didn’t expect lots of plot twists and was all shocked and/or giggly. For me it was a fun, engaging read. 
I agree with people who say that

Scarlett and Julian

fell in love too quickly, but idk man, they were cute.  Donatella gave me Lydia Bennett vibes at first

but she turned out to be smart as hell and I loved that!
