i actually dnf’d this book, i only marked it as read because i was 73% in and the hours i spent reading it can never be gotten back. this book was a drag and painful to read, i wasn’t excited to flip to the next page or to know what happened next. i have genuine, deep seated beef with the entire book because the premise was cute but it fell so flat and i resorted to skimming through the pages when i was halfway but struggled to even do that. the world building was sorely lacking and i’m sure the plot line didn’t know what it was let alone the reader. the main character had next to no personality and didn’t stand out in anyway. i felt no attachment to the characters like i usually would when i’m immersed in a good book, they were all forgettable. this book was boring, that’s what it was, boring.
