4.0

I'm not always a big fan of media that focuses on unlikable characters and how their past trauma makes them make stupid mistakes that makes the reader want to scream at them...but this book made it all work. The first person perspective made it relatable. The fast-pace was welcome. The miscommunication trope was not frustrating. I really enjoyed this book and how self-aware and smart it was!
