so. on one hand, i laughed out loud multiple times reading this book. on the other hand, i got so bored during the middle that i ended up skimming through maybe seven chapters? i just wanted something to happen, and there wasn't enough tension/yearning to keep me engaged.

i wish we could've seen more of the supporting friend group, because honestly they were the funniest part of the book for me. everyone watching from the car during luc's awful undump-me speech was fantastic lol. also the ending was really abrupt. almost feels like there was a third missing act.
