It was entertaining, quippy, endearing. I really enjoyed the pacing. I have a potentially hot take about the main character though - ironically, was she too one-dimensional? Her moments of growth seemed to be in the final few pages, or perhaps I didn’t have a good read on it. 

Cry count: 0.5. half of a well-up once.
