3.5

 The description of the book is very misleading to the main premise. There’s many… unexpected plot twists to say the least. 
   
 The first half of the book was fairly slow. It’s just going through Jess’s life and what she does. Towards the middle it picks up and becomes interesting. You might have to suspend your beliefs to fully enjoy it, but it was entertaining. 
 
 It was unique and I did want to know what happened. The romance was cute but the characters fell a bit flat for me. I did not grow too attached to any of them which always makes a book less enjoyable.

 Overall, it was an entertaining, quick read that makes you want to know what will happen next.
