4.0

I think it deserves the read but it lacks a little bit of something, maybe they are just too good all the time so

when they almost got caught

I didn't really fear for them that much.  Something else that bothered me was that the language is just too complicated for no reason sometimes but listening to it as an audiobook made it bother me less than if I'd read it probably. I also think that it's hard to tell the difference between their voices, not physically but the characters' style in the letters, especially when hearing it as an audiobook. 

Overall, a very enjoyable read and super fast, I really liked it but I think I couldn't relate enough with the characters.
