Fresh out of the book so the rating might change. 

Until then, what the fork did I just read?

I liked that:
- it’s a fast read, with short chapters
- it’s easy to follow
- there’s a complete ending to the story even if there are more in this series
- the author completely manipulated me

I didn’t like that:
- it’s a slow start
- there is a « love story » happening
between Millie and Andy (kind of needed) & Enzo and Nina (not needed at all)

- it’s got quite a few stereotypes 

That being said I’ll give the next one a try, and I’m overall glad I read it.
