I wanted to enjoy this book. But I really just wanted it to be over. I literally only finished it by hate reading it… 

The power of jazz hands and the Spice Girls?? Really? A love interest who the FMC thinks is cheating on her but they get together in the end (for forever) with no change? Kicklines and evil spirits? This was a big pass from me…

It felt so slow. I thought the concept is very interesting but not well executed- it makes me want to try to write it better, if that makes sense.
