emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I liked this book but felt that it was wrapped up a little too perfectly. The ending was literally the best case scenario. Also, there is a “twist,” but it’s not really a twist because you will definitely guess it about 20% through the book.

There were some portions that were a little too descriptive and took longer than necessary. Also the “big reveal” felt a bit anticlimactic. 

Even though it’s predictable, it is a good read.

I also liked the name drop for the title at both the beginning and the end.

Overall, I very much enjoyed this book and would recommend to everyone.
