This book really really needed a better editor I think.
Edit to add because I wrote this around midnight and now it’s morning and I have more coherent thoughts:
I think the author definitely has the potential but this book reads like the second draft of a debut novel, when it is neither. This book would have been much better with a better editor (I swear I wanted to start editing it myself!). Repeated sentences, commas missing, clunky phrasing, one time I noticed a sentences that was long and had two buts, without any commas. Very annoying. The dialogue often read like the things I wrote when I was fifteen and writing fanfiction.
I enjoyed the premise, but the execution did not live up to its full potential.
