What a weirdly written book. I had this on my TBR for a while now, and when it went on sale on Amazon, I decided to finally buy it and read it right away. 

Maybe I had this book overhyped in my mind since its premise reminded me so much of one of my all-time favorite books. I love the dynamic of Grumpy MMC x Sunshine FMC! Nova sounded like a really sweet character that I was gonna love! But by the end of this book, (which is a cliffhanger fyi) I really didn't vibe with her or any other character. 

I could go on and on about what I didn't like. Nova's sister being a major one. But my biggest gripe is that the author made a lot of weird choices writing this book. She included details or events that didn't make sense or felt needed. For example, Nova's bracelet going missing at the beginning or how her and her sister felt at odds but were suddenly good at the end of the book. I thought that bracelet was gonna be important in some way. I also thought Nova and Mari's relationship was gonna be a major plotline with a satisfying conclusion. Guess I was wrong.🤷‍♀️

 Idk, I just feel really dissatisfied with everything about 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳. I won't be reading the next books in the series, but this experience hasn't turned me off from the author! I'm still curious about her other works.🐥💕
