4.0

it’s really hard to summarize what made this enjoyable. It was unique, clever, whimsical, emotional, and funny. The cast of characters was entertaining, and I eventually grew to understand each of them and their motivations. However, what made this less than a 5 star read is how confused I was for half of the book. The sheer amount of characters itself if dizzying, but just how the story is told and unfolds doesn’t make sense for a good portion of the book. If you can push through the first half, you’ll be rewarded in the second half, I promise. I know that sounds like a crazy ask but it’s intentionally like that. This was my first Olivie Blake book, and I must say, I’m impressed.
