I loved this book! I read it very quickly, it was impossible to put down. The writing is like a diary, the chapters are short and the font is big so it was very easy to finish it. Definitely recommend!

Honestly it was really interesting, I read it in one sitting and I'll be frank it wasn't all that crazy but it was overall funny and an amazing quick read, I understand it's not meant to be a comedic book but some parts I just couldn't help laughing out loud

Not my type of book personally but it's okay when you're bored, I read it because my grandmas been pushing me to and it wasnt necessarily bad but the plot barely even moves at all, I liked when

So good! One of my favorite books I'm on my way to read Crooked Kingdom right now, it was truly amazing and its one of very few books that I would reread, it starts off a bit slow but once it starts going its amazing, my only advice would be to skip the first chapter because its so confusing and barely has anything to do with the story.
