MY GOD, THE CHARACTERS ARE INSUFFERABLE

(except for Eric lol, he's the only one i could tolerate in here) 

SO -3 STARS FOR THAT
THE TWO IS FOR THE PLOT BCUZ IT'S NOT THAT BAD. IT WAS PAGE-TURNING AND I FINISHED IT WITHIN HOURS SO I'D HAVE TO GIVE IT CREDIT FOR THAT

It doesn't sit right with me to give it three stars, and two stars made me feel less worse about it, so yeah.

I don't like nor hate it. The ending/plot twist was nah. But it was page-turning, and I did finish it in a day, so I'd have to give it credit for that.
