This book tried too hard to convince me that it was ~deep~

Pls just stop talking about your messy buns n cinnamon rolls

Plus I already understood the fate thing after you mentioning it 3 times IT WAS ENOUGH

Also I really didn't like Ethan, he annoyed me

(P.S: I'm really tired so I'll try to summarize my thoughts with this:

I liked it, it was a good book, I just wish it was edited further.
It could have been so much better. Plus her writing definitely got better after this)

deze stond op storytel, dus ik ging even heerlijk de nostalgie in. ik begrijp waarom ik dit boek vroeger zo fantastisch vond. er zit een goede hoeveelheid humor in en een paar aspecten die me erg deden denken aan mary poppins. (kind dat zich verloren voelt in het leven met een afstandelijke ouder komt opeens een begeleider tegen die de magie terug in hun wereld brengt) moet zeggen dat ik mary poppins wel echt aanzienlijk beter vind, maar voor mij kan niks aan dat verhaal toppen. thank u julie andrews, i love u <3

dit boek is volgensmij echt fantastisch maar het is nu 05:45 en ik moet er nog een essay over schrijven -- deze moet een keer in alle rust herlezen worden
