I had a long review written before Goodreads crashed and now I can’t be damned to write it all again. Tldr, listened to this on audiobook. The narrator has a fun voice but reads way too slow and pauses at the weirdest spots, often in the middle of sentences. I ended up listening to it at 1.1x speed but that made the random pauses even more obnoxious. I love the diversity representation and it’s a light and quick read/listen. But let’s be real: the writing is just ok, the plot is just ok, and the characters are all completely flat.
