I loved this book! I was entranced from start to finish. My only negative comment is that it’s read in only a few hours.

The concept of the story is really good! I liked this book,  t was very intriguing and had me turning the pages and reading way past my bedtime. 
I would have liked more plot. This is a vibe based story that centers around the personal development of our main character. Some of the inner monologue was a bit repetitive, and the character's change of heart felt a little contrived. Still, a solid read with such a good premise I'm sure I'll be thinking about for a while yet.

This book has a really interesting story: it's inspired by a song that was inspired by another song. Such an imaginative and powerful storyline. I wish there was more of it.

really interesting premise but world building was fairly weak and inconsistent, which made this less poignant than it should have been. a lot of potential here that i feel like just didn’t come to fruition
