4.5

this was a very good read - super easy to get through, and felt like a palette cleanser. 
only complaint is it felt a bit too YA for the mature topics that were in it, hence the lower rating, but overall i thoroughly enjoyed it and the ending was really nice! 
highly recommend

I liked this book! I listened to it as an audiobook & this is one of the few audiobooks i’ve really enjoyed so far. They had different voice actors for the characters & I really liked this aspect in comparison to the narrator using different voices for the characters. It was really fast-paced & I just wanted to keep listening! You can definitely tell that this book is a YA book but it was still good to me!
