The book is split in two (we love a dual narrative). The main plot thread is broken up by thematically linked but independent short stories. The short stories are really good, with some standing out as great. The main plot did nothing to hold my attention and the characters read, and speak, like they’re in a Wattpad classic. Unfortunately the short stories alone aren’t enough to drag me through the next 300 pages.

3.5 stars (?)

Ok so i'm really conflicted about this book. I absolutely adored the short stories they were my favourite part, however the overarching plot with zachary fell flat most of the time and definitely lowered my overall rating

Slightly more detailed review to come when i get time (which might be a while cause i'm really stressed due to school)
