funny hopeful lighthearted slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

There was nothing <i>wrong</i> with the book, it just felt a little... flat but I don't think I can put into words why. There was definitely some triggering of my COVID-19 trauma and the surrounding mental health issues/agoraphobia it gave me, but it wasn't just that - I didn't feel like I connected with the characters, didn't care about them or the story and that was a little disappointing because I usually LOVE Mandy Baggot's books
