Just didn't gel with this book. Found the characters very unlikeable and the plot to be a bit bland in places. 

If the sectioning of the book had been different and focused on different parts at different times, perhaps I would have enjoyed it more. 

I just found Elizabeth and Mad so annoying. And 630 seemed lovely and you'd think I'd love a dog character, but I found his stream of consciousness to be really strange!

I liked the bits about the show and I liked hearing about Elizabeth and Calvin. 

It felt like the story could have ended when Elizabeth left the show. The ending was nice but did feel forced.

Overall, just not my cup of tea and didn't live up to the hype for me!
