Loved it, but I had a hard time reading it— slow paced, and I felt that it dragged on a bit at times. Loved the idea though, such a cool book.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
Boring; no plot, relationship is super toxic but fixable, reads as if it was written by a 12 year old who doesn’t know what real relationships are like.
