This was a tough read/listen for me. I mostly found Catalina to be pretty insufferable and I didn’t really buy the tension between her and Aaron at the beginning of the book. Everything seemed to drag on for the first half of the book. I finished everything because I wanted to know what happened, but l found a lot of the moments over the top and Catalina’s internal monologue had me rolling my eyes more often than not. It’s a fun and lighthearted read but not one I could get lost in.
