On a purely technical level was this all that great? No. But it was genuinely so entertaining I couldn't put it down. This is definitely not a book to go into thinking that it's going to be anything other than a fun time but honestly, that's what's so good about it.

2.0

This book is bad and troubling in many ways and I can't recommend it but I had to know why everyone is so obsessed with it and I can definitely see why it's compelling....more thoughts to come

Giving fanfiction. The writing was so bland. For some reason, I'm gonna keep going and read the next one? 

Edit: [Was previously 2.5 stars. Changing to 3.5]. Rereading this knowing the characters better makes it 100% better. I haven't thought about anything else for two weeks. Anyway.

A lot of characters are introduced at once, most without much description , so it was a little hard to keep track of who was who in the beginning. I had to look at the wiki page pictures/descriptions. Some of the writing was pretty cheesy but an enjoyable read. The whole Columbia thing was fucked up though.
