Do YOU like stories where absolutely everything is spelled out for you at every turn so that you never have to burden yourself with the act of using your brain to wonder curiously about the mystery ostensively centered in this story? Do YOU enjoy love interests who exist almost exclusively to be plot devices and not fully realized characters? Do YOU enjoy narratives that allow for no room to speculate or explore the questions being answered because the author doesn’t trust you to draw your own conclusions? DO YOU ENJOY having EVERY problem have a CLEAN AND EASY SOLUTION THE PROTAGONIST DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO WORK TO ACHIEVE? THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!!!

I can’t believe how highly rated this was. I’ve never felt so much like I wasted my time and money. I wanted to enjoy this so, so badly, and every chapter punished me for that hope. At least it was a quick read.
