The story itself is nothing special and I was well aware of that before I started it. I want to read something light and easy to listen as an audiobook while doing other things. However while I had low expectations, I wish at the very least I could like the characters or the found family aspect.

The narration keeps repeating that Diz’s real family is her group of her friends, their ‘family, Jaesin and Ania are their ‘parents’ blablablah…

However I haven’t read anything that proved it. In fact throughout the story, Diz was iced out by her ‘found family’. Whether she deserved it or not doesn’t matter to me, what matters is that the author doesn’t show me anything that I want from this book.

Anyway, the author’s first book is better (or at least I remember it being better…)
