  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
Who was going to tell me about the low key fantasy/sci-fi element? How has this been hyped on BookTok for ages and I haven’t seen a single mention of that? 
Anyways, it wasn’t terrible but not what I wanted or expected and the writing style isn’t for me.

5.0

THIS book was just… amazing. At first, I was scared that the characters were somewhat stereotypical and that the author was just trying to get diversity points. But instead, each one of them has depth, flaws and is endlessly loveable and sooo well written. The way their personalities differ and yet add up to each other is incredible and makes the reading experience so much more realistic. The plot is a mix between mystery, jokes and some amazing plottwists which I did not see coming while staying pretty relatable (time travel aside). I‘d say that this book is mainly character driven, but most definitely not boring. It’s the perfect combination of self-reflection, character development and action. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
