The idea really intrigued me and this was a really anticipated release for me. 
Sadly I’m a bit disappointed… I liked reading a very plot driven, fast paced book for once since I usually like to read more character driven books. But this was hard for me to go through. I didn’t connect to the characters at all. I do like Jamal and his thoughts and motivations but after the fourth time of him telling us, he wants to become a journalist I just couldn’t help getting a bit annoyed, because I got it! Anyways I like the concept but couldn’t feel any chemistry between any characters. Not just the romance but also platonic characters. I felt like there was so much potential for some relationships that weren’t explored later on. And it left me feeling like I don’t even get why these characters were introduced. The fast pacing turned into rushing towards the ending, which was surprising not in a positive way. 

I really wanted to enjoy this but I hoped for more.
