A lot of mini plot lines that were so unnecessary and not actually resolved. Main plot wasn’t very unique, yet it was somehow still confusing at times.

Writing was very basic and way too wordy. There were a lot of random details that didn’t really need to be there, like a whole page on how to play spades? This book could have easily been under 300 pages and would be more concise and enjoyable. The last 50 pages were a pain, as I was already so over it. Very predictable, but a fun concept.

Short and to the point! Was a bit different than expected, and almost realistic, which I always enjoy. The writing was great and easy to read.
