I rated this book 2/5 stars. I think the story could’ve been written better. The characters were a little annoying at times. I feel like the story was lackluster. There was something missing and this story could’ve been shorter. I don’t think all the issues in the book were resolved. There were some good and fun moments but other than that I could’ve gone with my first thought and not read this book.
