I really enjoyed this book, I loved that it not only included the main characters storyline but other characters storylines as well. I do wish there was a little bit more deeper romance though 😅

This book was slow at first, but once I started to get into it I started to enjoy it. I like how the main focus wasn't the romantic storyline, instead the mystery behind the North Tower curse and the chemistry between characters were great.

I enjoyed reading this book, I liked the humour and found Cath very relatable. The storyline was great.
However, I think Cath was very annoying...sometimes I wanted to jump in and tell her to grow a spine. I wish also that there was more scenes of chemistry between Jest and Cath, I wanted to see a more stronger connection. On top despite the short chapters, the book took way too long to read.

I couldn't finish this book, because I have become busy so I don't have much time to read. And I can't renew the book cos it's reserved for someone else ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

This book really shows you the events of growing up and issues you encounter on the journey. I like that some of the chapters weren't really actual chapters, it added personality into the book.
Some parts of the book were great, but it also lost me a couple of times.

The book was a quick read, it went into detail about the authors mind like feelings and you could see their thinking process. But I felt also I couldn't connect with the storyline

Although the chapters are short, the book itself is slow...it took me a lot longer to read compared to other books; feel like cos of this, the book dragged sometimes.
Nevertheless, I did enjoy the book, the characters development and humour. I could relate to the main characters.

I liked this book and the humour. However I did feel some poems, were okay whilst others were amazing. The ones at the beginning, had me hooked.
