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.

I really enjoyed this book, the chemistry between the characters and the storyline. I do think though it didn't need to be a 400 page book, I think it made some parts long winded.

The writing layout was different to all the books I have read, the story told and narrated from all the characters; this also made it a easy flowing read.  

It touched on topics like substance abuse, love and conflict..and I could relate to somethings.

I enjoyed this book, the chemistry between all the characters especially the main leads. I loved the witty behaviour, the humour. However I do think since it is a 400 page book, sometimes it did drag.

I really enjoyed this book, I resonated with Elsie. The academic words did throw me off a bit, but it was bearable cos of the humour. It is a slow burn book..and i mean slow😂😂
