This book is kind of interesting to me, because it was well-written and clever and funny, but like 90% of the time I was reading it I would much rather be reading a different book. But like I don’t regret reading it.
It was extremely boring at times and it took me a long time and lots of discipline to get through, but I had kind of a good time. The good outweighs the bad just enough to make it slightly higher than a neutral 2.5 stars. 
There was nothing that made me angry or irritated with the book, which is a fair enough feat in itself, and I really liked relating with the characters in such a lighthearted and stakes-free way.
