Because of all the hype this book has, I had so high expectations and therefore got so disappointed in the first 140 pages… I found it to be really boring and it took me about a week until I had reached 100 pages. BUT after the 140 pages, it started to get better and better. Some chapters were wow, some were meh. In the end I just wanted to finish it bc even tho it was good, I was so tired of it after reading it for almost three weeks. But overall in the end, I enjoyed it!
I loved Naomi and Waylay more than the other characters but most of them were so loveable! I loved Naomi’s humor and laughed out loud several times because of it! I was not a big fan of Knox until he took Naomi and Waylay for shopping, then he started to grow on me. There was some parts where I loved him but most of the time he was not my favorite, in the end I liked him very much but I didn’t love him. But one thing I absolutely LOVED was when he called Naomi Daisy, so sweet<3
