The author's writing is good, but I didn't vibe with the story. It was a quick read and mostly enjoyable; ultimately the protagonist was too sophomoric and selfish for my taste.

My favorite book i’ve read so far this year.
Love the writing. I wrote so many quotes from this book in my journal. Love the playlists!
This is the second book i’ve read with a female protagonist named Vincent. Considering it for my future daughter!
