Was hoping to see more of a story line for one of the younger characters of even a spin off in the future focusing on them.

Liked how real the characters felt but i didn't like them very much. Felt a little pretentious at times but maybe that was the point. Maybe would have felt better if the protagonist didn't seem to have so many similarities to the author in physical description and career trajectory. I did enjoy the writing though. Spin-off about Zoe would be cool.

After finishing this book I feel this urge to talk about it with someone who read it and show them all of my favorite quotes or to convert someone into reading this. I think this feeling alone shows that the book was GOOD. This story was satisfying in the weird way and I will need to think about this some more. 4.75 ⭐️( it’s not full 5 stars for me because I felt like story was dragging just a bit in the middle )
