Even though it deals with some heavier topics like misogyny in gaming, classism, and bullying, the overall tone of this is still really light-hearted and fun. The story is set in Indonesia, which made for a refreshing change. Kiki is a fun main character to follow. She has her flaws, and the author doesn't try to polish those away, but you also can't help but feel for her. I also really liked Liam, as well as a few of the side characters that brought a lot of humor to the story.
There were a few things that happened in the book that didn't make much sense to me, because I couldn't understand why a character would do something like that, but that didn't really hinder my enjoyment. Would definitely recommend for the target audience.
