I just wasn’t interested. I watched the movie instead.

I enjoyed this book very much. The audiobook format really sold it for me. The plot was entertaining, and the dialogue was engaging. It felt like watching the documentary of a famous band after they’ve broken up. I’m motivated to watch the Amazon prime series after finishing.

I couldn’t get through the book. The writing was okay, but the plot was not very engaging for me. The characters didn’t attract me, but I should’ve read the description better. I don’t think I’m in the right age group anymore for these types of books.

I wasn’t blown away by this book. I really enjoyed the previous book in this series, but this one didn’t do it for me. I liked the characters but I didn’t love them. It was entertaining but I wouldn’t pick it up again.

This book was cute. I liked the cultural diversity of the characters and the anxiety awareness. As an immigrant kid with anxiety, I understand how hard it is to set boundaries with parents, and this book showcased that wonderfully. It wasn’t life-changing, but I’m glad I read it.
