3.5
(third readππΌ) This has weirdly become a comfort book for me? π€·π»ββοΈπ It sure has its moments and removed from my initial expectations was a more successful read for me. 3.5βοΈ rounded down for the still-obnoxious and not cute sexism.

I'd give this a 2.75 if possible .. This book was so insanely difficult for me to stay interested in, and I love "these" types of books. The only character I found myself caring about at all was Alice, and only the last 100 pages or so really seemed worth reading. That being said, I'll probably still read the next one once it goes on sale in the Kindle store. /shrug
