Woof. Not unreadable. Not great. It’s mostly just fine. 

I found myself rushing through it, not because I enjoyed it, but because I wanted to get it over with - like a chore. Nick’s voice, especially in the first half of the book is very irritating. The worst part was the end. Felt like the author was rushing to finish it and also didn’t know how to finish it. The ending was kind of terrible. It had the potential to be good, which was ultimately the most disappointing. 

Beginning- annoying
Middle - good!
Ending - very bad.
