I don’t know why but I didn’t connect with this book as much as I thought?
I don’t know if it’s because I was so late to the party and I read other Holly Jackson books before this one? I felt this book read young, some bits didn’t feel realistic, I will continue with the series to see if Holly’s writing changes in the other books.
I liked the idea of it, I just think for me as someone who has realised they don’t like YA as much anymore, maybe it felt that way?
