In no uncertain terms should this book have made me laugh as much as it made me cry. And yet, that’s exactly what happened.

I loved the first half of this, but I felt like the second half took a tonal shift that just left me scratching my head. The cult side-plot seemed way too heavy to have in a book with such a light-hearted premise. And Gus and January had so much trauma that I felt wasn’t necessarily given enough space in the story. The light-hearted premise felt unbalanced with the heaviness, and I felt the heaviness wasn’t dealt with properly. I have complicated feelings…
