Overall the book was good. I liked how the project was broken down and explained in detail because there’s a lot going on with it and it’s hard to keep track.

Now to the bad:
The first 60% of this book took me over a week to get through (which is unheard of for me with these books as I read the first in 2 days). The first 200 pages they don’t even get out of bed

Jfc. This book was 350 pages too long. Sera is annoying AF and is insufferable. Seriously, this could have been so much shorter and gotten to the point so much faster. It’s just filler with fluff which doesn’t move the story along. Did I mention how annoying Sera is? Because she is really annoying. Ash is too good for her and I will die on this hill
