There were some lines I really liked in this book, but also many that made me roll my eyes. Once you get used to the lack of quotation marks it's quite an easy read but I definitely wouldn't have got through it so quickly if I wasn't constantly wondering 'why is this book so popular?'; which really was what motivated me to keep reading. Overall this book was fine, it wasn't overwhelmingly good or bad 🤷🏻‍♀️
