I don't really know how I feel about this book. Some of the things that bothered me are:
  1. The writing style was weird. It felt like it was written for an edgy thirteen year old boy, but the content felt too mature for that (lots of fucks, shits, and boners). 
  2. I found descriptions of the environment to be lacking for the most part. It was rare we got a description, and I just wish there was a bit more floweriness to the writing. 

I didn't get as annoyed with the characters' miscommunication because I read reviews before going into this book, so knowing to expect it helped a lot. That being said, it still got a bit frustrating after a point. Like, I wish there was more conflict that them not talking to each other (because let's be real, if Matt and Arek spoke to each other, the entire conflict would be solved). 

Overall though, it was a super fun read. Very light hearted, which is nice if you need something as a break in between the heavier books out there (which is what I needed, so...). Plus the cover is just so beautiful, I refuse to not like this book.

I listened to a bit of the audiobook after finishing this (it didn't become available in time). The writing still fits the narrator of the audiobook really well, so if I ever reread this it'll probably be through audiobook.
