This book is objectively not great. It definitely reads like fanfiction purely because of the ridiculous, implausible, full-of-holes premise that is perfectly acceptable in fanfic but that makes me roll my eyes in published novels. However, I did not go into this book expecting or even wanting objective greatness. I went into this expecting fun, ridiculous published Reylo fanfic, and boy did it deliver.

This is essentially cotton candy in book form — not a whole lot of substance and would very easily disintegrate in the face of any kind of scrutiny, but it’s sweet and addicting and distracts you from the misery of all your end of semester work for a couple hours.
