I will say, it was very well written and clever! I have no idea how much I would have liked it if I read it for the first time now, and there were definitely a few parts that had me a bit skeptical, but omg I'm just ...more

I want to clarify: I'm marking this as dnf for now because I don't want to clutter my currently reading any more than it already is, but I 100% plan to come back to it, and it was very much an "I struggle with audiobooks and wasn't far enough in to be properly invested yet so I procrastinated reading it and then my scribd free trial ended" dnf, not an "I don't like this book" dnf...more

Update, upon reading this: I was, in fact, right to be scared
I didn't hate this? but I didn't love it either. tbh I just don't know how to feel about Update, upon reading this: I was, in fact, right to be scared
I didn't hate this? but I didn't love it either. tbh I just don't know how to feel about it? somehow it actually managed not to ruin the characters (mostly), but I didn't much like the plot? also it was way too fixated on making sticky hot kthanksbye
