2 stars. The low rating's on me—I very much did NOT expect the middle event and I was not in the mindset for that kind of thing. 

Also, there are no actual carnivorous plants in the book 😭

This book is kind of miserable. I’m not quite sure if its in a good or bad way, but I think that there was a lot put into it, the romance subplot was good, and I like how Danny got into poetry, that was pretty nice.
