4.0

This is a deceptively long book, with almost 600 pages when it looks from the outside like it should have closer to 350. It's also an absolute breeze to read and, though I have to dock a star for what I think is a pretty unhealthy start to a relationship, it's my new favorite slightly guilty read series.

Reread in 2020: I needed to get back to this because of *waves broadly* and I enjoyed it just the same this time around. I almost never reread but I needed something comforting and addictive for finals season.
