First thing that made me actually upset? That I started this book and felt lost, like I was thrown into the middle of the the story with less than enough information to make sense. I had so many questions! At one point the book happened to flop open and I saw the Author's Note at the end of the book where it starts out, "If you've read my book Fan Girl, you know that Simon Snow began as a fictional character in that novel...." WHAT? I looked it up and it said they were independent of each other, but I wondered... Luckily I had that one in my TBR stack and so paused this reading to read that, and sure enough through the excerpts in that book, it shed light on some of the world of Simon Snow to help me not feel as lost which is frustrating since this is supposed to be an independent read.
I've heard this book described at Harry Potter but gay. Eh I see A LOT of similarities, but idk. I'd love to hear what someone who enjoyed the HP series thinks of this. Imo it's less scary than HP but the kids are ironically more normal (they kiss and cuss).
I was really confused with the romance. It seemed random and all of a sudden, but this is also a book that apparently had many books before it in this fictional series, so I'm sure you don't get the whole picture here.
It was a lot of nothing. The last 150 pages or so were probably my favorite.
Overall, not a bad book, but didn't leave me feeling WOW.

Baz is great, love him, would die for him and all of that. Penelope? Also fantastic. Love her. What an angel. Agatha stayed along for too long, and every time her POV came up I was like :/ but she's fine I guess. The ending kinda felt like a stone in my stomach, but I'm hoping that gets resolved in the next book which, by reading the blurb, it sounds like it will. Looking forward to it, although a little worried about the reviews.
