3.0
This is the first book that I’ve read that everyone highly recommends and I’ve found underwhelming.
Within the first few pages the unnecessary use of higher tier vocabulary annoyed me. It was like the author wanted to show off some words they’d learnt without considering the characters she was writing about.
I read the book easily but it felt like it was both about everything and nothing at all. Sam and Sadie were incredibly annoying. I just was not as amazed by the book as everyone else appears to be.
