I landed on this (YA) book straight from a bunch of Adult ones and it was certainly a bit of a mental adjustment because this book is very YA (not derogatory). The protagonist is emotionally a bit less mature than your average 16-year-old (part of the character arc), which makes it also feel like a bit of an adjustment.
If you are familiar with/enjoy fanfic and romance writing tropes, you will likely get some good laughs out of this. It's very much rom-com style, what-if all the tropes one by one to teach the protagonist a lesson about accidental wish fulfilment, etc. but the maturity (or lack thereof) of the main character makes it a bit dicey for me.
Overall, enjoyable and fun but reads very much like the top range of middle school with the main characters rather than modern 16 year olds.
