Second half: three stars
This was quite the whirlwind of the story, some aspects that I like included the diversity, the mental health rep, the behind the scenes look of journalism, and the well written banter between characters.
Some things that didn’t work for me was the pacing, I felt that even though we were going on a multi city adventure, it all kind of blurred together.

Could totally see a huge number of people loving this story, just wasn’t for me unfortunately.
