There's a lot I liked about this book. It has GREAT representation and is really diverse. It was at times really funny. The characters were v easy to root for. The overall message is SO interesting. I was completely immersed in the story. Like all of Lauren James' work, this was incredibly creative.
But.
The writing could've been better. I also felt that the execution was kind of wobbly. And I did find it arguably unrealistic. Some of the decisions the characters made were REALLY frustrating. This honestly felt slightly longer than it needed to be. And the villains were almost the cartoonish mustache-twirling type.
But, despite everything, this book was one HELL of a ride and I even had some fun with it. ;)
