I enjoyed this story. (Most) characters were lovable. All iconic. The main character was as rather annoying at times, but it was mostly about her complaining about her life on the first page, and I found it annoying as she literally described most my childhood (ie, shopping at goodwill, and working with pigs on a farm kinda deal) and acted as if that was the end of the world. Also, you’d think after the tenth thing of danger, when the others would tell her to hide or run, she would. But she never did and that annoyed the crap out of me.

If I hadn’t been asked to read this, I would have DNF’d the first chapter due to some writing peeves. But besides that, it was an enjoyable read once the story actually started and I’ll be reading the second book soon.

It was a simple story it gave off the vibes of a book that you would read for a novel study. Not the greatest but not the worst.
