I fear this is another case where I feel like I read a different book than everyone else. I tried reading the physical copy but couldn't get into it, so I switched to the audiobook, which I did like more. It was bingeable and I listened to it in two sittings over one day. But, I can't say I get the hype. It was a slow-burn and maybe this is a case of "all vibes, no plot" because I feel like nothing really happened. I didn't care about the characters and felt very underwhelmed by the story.
