Over all, this book is a pretty nice read. It’s neither thrilling nor breathtaking most of the time, but it was enjoyable to flash through in a few hours and made me feel with and for the characters, keeping me emotionally engaged and laughing or groaning at their antics.
But for the love of everything nice and holy, what is wrong with using the words man or woman on occasion? There were two times the word woman appeared in the book, and both were referring to an artwork. It made me seriously cringe every time that I had to read “the females hair did this” or “the male does that”. 
In the end i got through it and I’m also already on the second part, because I can’t wait to see if it’ll bring a little more of the plot to the table after the first book focused more on character development and relationships.
