4 hours 30 minutes - I liked the way this book progressed for the most part, and I really liked the development of the relationship between Andrew and Neil. A lot of the plot points were still quite confusing - I never quite understood the conflict between Andrew and Aaron, but as a whole I have really enjoyed reading this series.

As this isn’t the first in the AFTG series, you probably don’t need this but its still important.

Finding out that this was originally supposed to be a manga explained everything and now I’m revising all my reviews to give it 5 stars because it is so fun. Truly the Riverdale of books. Bending the rules of reality because the author has never lived in reality.

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless you’re my friend and you’re funny.
