2.5/5 stars | i'll listen to this book and follow my heart, and my heart is saying this book is very overhyped. its essentially a self help book but disguised as a fictional story. it started off enthralling and i wanted to see what happens but by the end it was just so repetitive. idk, maybe if i read this when i was a teenager it would be more impactful but reading this now it was just meh.

This, unfortunately, found the wrong audience in me.

cheesy as hell

The story is good but it's too short to be a novel. The author added pointless stuff as to make the story longer. In my opinion. It works well as a short story, not a full-fledged book.
