This book is a fun, quirky ride with a whole lot of potential but doesn’t quite hit the mark in every way. The premise is super interesting. The writing has some sharp wit, and there are definitely moments where you can’t help but laugh out loud. 

But, honestly, while the premise had me hooked from the start, the execution didn’t quite live up to what I expected. It felt a little uneven in parts, with the pacing dragging a bit in places where I was hoping for more action or twists. Some characters were super interesting, while others felt like they were there just to fill space (iykyk). If you like dark, dry humor, and want to read something for a refreshing change, try out this book. I thought there would be a book 2 for this but idk if that's still happening - either way, this is a self-contained story and (for now) a standalone book.
