5.0

Amazing book - even enjoyed reading the most unlikable character's chapter. Breezed through it with how much I loved it. If you're into biology and stuff, super recommend but fine if you know next to nothing like me. While I would recommend this if you enjoy a minor gay romance and blind rep, but wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a racially diverse cast.
