I love the format of this book. The plot was kinda predictable but the writing is so good and the story so engaging it didn’t bother me.

Not a book I’d normally pick up. I heard the audiobook was amazing and as someone who doesn’t love audiobooks I was skeptical. But I loved the full cast. Really made the interview style of the book feel so real. Was way better than I expected!
