This was a super fun late summer early fall read. I also loved the small town vibes and the slight mystery element in this read. I also liked the romance and also the friends to more vibes it gave me. I lovd both characters POV and the steam level gave me b.k borison vibes. I think sometimes i felt disconnected form the writing style but overal a great one

I think if you have relecutant readers i think this would be a great starter grapic novel. I also think if you liked ghostwiter or stories where you fall into stories this would make a great read. For m i struggled to feel connectd to the characters and did not feel the world building was very strong but it was a fun and quick read!!

I think i thought this was a fun read and i loved the small town, the mystery and all the side charaacters but i did not really love the main character and that made me feel less connected to the read but i would be open to reading more book in the future!!
