I'm not quite sure how to give a balanced review of this book. I literally had a running notepad on my phone of everything I despised about it. I found Emma to be overbearing, rude, and hypocritical. I found the author to use descriptors in places that didn't belong for the situation. I found the book to overall lack finesse. HOWEVER, I really love the idea of the book. I love the creativity and imagination of it. If I could "squint" while reading the book so all the things I dislike would be blurred out, I'd love the book. As it is, I vehemently despise Emma that much and find the authors lack of writing skills to take away from the overall pleasure of reading the novel.
