Overall i find the commentary on the publishing industry is quite interesting. Yes, the book would still be able to make the same point if it's shorter but i didn't mind it at all. Honestly, i still want to read more about June and the whole aftermath.
The pacing suited me well and the plot is pretty solid. The way everything started to spiral out of control is very gripping, it makes you kept on wanting to read more to find out what's gonna follow.
The only downside for me, would be how the main characters are all hateable cus they do crazy and frustrating stuff, so i can't truly connect with the story.
The book will get a 4.25 from me, not the greatest thing i've ever read but i definitely enjoyed it.
