 Storygraph had some incredible reviews of this book, I picked it up on a whim from a local bookstore. Let me tell you, one of the weirdest and frankly, dumbest books I've read. It starts out ok, super cute backstory, fun characters. The plot is super light and pretty see-through, but it's not meant to be War and Peace. Then like a third of the way through there was the strangest plot twist. And it kept. Getting. Weirder. There were some decent parts, but I was so busy waiting to find the next weird twist, I never really enjoyed the half-decent bits. The suspension of disbelief ask is much too high and the payoff is much too cheese. Definitely would not recommend.
