I would have DNFd it but I was committed to finished it. It read too much like a 13yr olds ‘nsfw’ fanfic but the kid doesn’t actually know what nsfw is. He mentions many times that he’s a prude and writes a lot of vomit, cringe inducing fanfic chapters in this book. Overall he’s a very flat character and really doesn’t have many facets to his development. Nick has 20/20 hindsight as mentioned in another comment and it makes the story rather boring and unrealistic. Not my favourite at all and unlike other non-faves I would NOT recommend this book to any potential readers.

This book gets better as you go along, but the beginning was rough for me. Nick is a frustrating character to follow since he doesn’t seem to pick up on ANYTHING. It was frustrating, because literally as soon as he figures things out, he has 100% perfect 2020 hindsight vision. The reader deserved a better protagonist from page one and I know this author can deliver because of The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Best parts were Nick’s banter with his dad and the plot. The reason this book is rated as highly is mostly due to the fact that I wanted to know what was going to happen. I think I’ll stick around for book two since the characters seem to be settling in more.
