This was not for me and did not match the mood I was looking for when reading

After 30 % it just didn't go well for me anymore. I was feeling okay about the characters before this point but after it was just dreadful. I was seriously kind of enjoying myself and the interactions but it was only during the earlier half. I didn't like anybody from this book by 60% they all annoyed and irked me so much I guess except Phil.

The way they were crushing over each other during the start was exciting but got boring. There was just not much to go between that that would keep my interest and that was the vibe I was looking for when I was reading this book. I just wanted it to end. 

By 70% I couldn't take it anymore and just skimmed it through. My soul literally could not take reading anymore of this bullshit. 

I felt negatively about most characters. Phil was okay, VADA was tolerable but the greenly family? Fuck that whole lot. Idc, I don't like them I borderline hate them. 

Man this ruined my reading so much. I don't know how long until I recover from this. I may be being dramatic rn but let's see if I get the hope for reading again from 70% and seeing if I'll change my opinions once I really commit to digesting everything that's happening. It was just dreadful. Hahhh. 

Edit: I really wanted to feel validated so I went to the reviews but it seems like I am the odd one out. I see mostly 5 star reviews from both this app and goodreads but I am adamant about my feelings when reading this book. It was not a good experience. I found this book after going through my past reads and it did gave out some of the same vibes as the books I read which I decently liked but somehow it this book had it in an unenjoyable way. Secret mutual pinning-which got boring, and something else that I can't think of rn. I should sleep but the thought of this book kept me awake in a bad way. I just wanted to see that 100% anyways I'm rambling but I will not let my feelings be swayed by other atleast for now. Also, experience gaps has been present to my recent reads far too much and frequently so it was the fuel to my hatred for this one. Hahhhhhhhh. 

Edit edit: power went out so decided to reread from 70%

They both are so effortlessly talented that's it got hard to believe in it's validity. I kept doubting the greatness of Luke's lyrics so I just cringe whenever they mention the top hit song shit. I also doubt why the podcast is such a fucking hit, the thing about teen wolf was cringy as fuck.

Third act was lame as fuck. Okay, maybe the upstage performance was decent but it's really hard to believe that it deserved the response for it.

They're obnoxious. I hate public declarations. Just read the actual lyrics and... Meh. She got on stage.. Nope.

Okay I'm done, actually read the parts I skimmed through and yeah. I'm not very fond of this book, it's not for me and I just don't like how it went and how stuff got executed. I think i'm not changing my rating from a one star. Dunno.
