it's fast, lighthearted read thats often laugh-out-loud hilarious, tho the plot is ofc ludicrous and certain elements mindbogglingly unrealistic, a prime example being sharlot knowing nothing abt indonesia and blaming it on her mum, as if the internet and books dont exist. i wanted to like this more but upon further reflection, i dont even like either of the main characters; sharlot's just neutral + self-sabotaging, while george's a doormat. the climax and ending are also a lil too corny and abrupt for me. a lot of ppl would unsurprisingly love this, but the execution leaves me wanting a bit more despite enjoying this.
