  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I really liked the plot!! It could’ve been a 4 o 5 star read, but just 3 for 2 reasons; 
I reaaaally didn’t like the main character, I just didn’t care about him at all. 
Also, the worst thing for me was that it’s kind of sexists. And not in a way that they are trying to criticize it, so I feel like it ruined a lot of the enjoyment for me. There were just a lot of sexist comments that made me uncomfortable, but they were just comments so I just ignored it.

But overall it’s a nice book, I would still recommend it
