The amount of times I annotated this book with 'bruh'  because of something a character thought, did or said says everything. I did not care about any of the characters, most of the protagonist's actions made zero sense to me and the idea that you have to endure being in a place for someone who you a) don't know properly b) doesn't seem to care about you is just not for me.

Atmospheric. 

There was some predictability to evolution of the plot, but it doesn’t take away from the story at all. When we first met Joss, I was hoping Mary’s impressions of him would be a misunderstanding. 

The loss of a star was mostly thanks to the over-the-top drawing Mary happens upon, along with the villain’s confession. I just found myself rolling my eyes by this point.
