I really enjoyed reading this book from the beginning on, the style of writing was so engaging and the characters felt so real. However in the middle of the book I felt like it was going of for a bit too long and it probably could have been cut by quite some pages. I also thought the whole Marie Kondo analogy was a bit weird… Nonetheless I loved to dive into this world where objectives and books have voices and at the end I felt like I wanted to declutter my room after finishing it.
