haleighrigatoni's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Ugh. I could only get about halfway through this before giving up (I quit on page 138, couldn't even finish the short chapter). Shallow and convenient plot, superficial, one-dimensional characters, cloying yet confusing writing style (WHY SO MUCH ALLITERATION? AND REPETITION? AND THE SHIFTS BETWEEN PERSPECTIVES?), and incredibly offensive portrayal of folks with cognitive disabilities. The attitudes demonstrated by both the writer and the characters towards romance, sexuality, and class are incredibly prejudiced and antiquated. Don't waste your time on this.

I think this is a very cute story and a very cute premise that is maybe lacking some execution. I think there could’ve been more to the development of the characters relationships. I didn’t really “buy in” to the interpersonal dynamics and didn’t feel strongly towards most of the characters. I liked it but I think it has more potential than outright success. I wish the development of the story felt more natural. I feel like there were a lot of loose or skipped ends that I wish would’ve been flushed out. 

It was a fun listen. I expected fantasy in this one, but it was more of a love story and cozy adventure.
