It would've been 5 stars but I felt the pacing was a bit off. I felt that the beginning was slow and difficult to get into, and then the last quarter to third had a lot happening quickly. But ultimately I really enjoyed the story and thought it was very creative.

I have never annotated and underlined so many things in a fiction book. This book is written so beautifully, some sentences make your heart ache. We should all try to be like January

Interesting premise executed satisfactorily.

I was confused as to why there needed to be a book within in the book telling the same story as what was happening, but it was all revealed in time.

idk, just a fun little book. Would recommend.
