Overall Thoughts:
⁕ I would like to give a standing ovation to the audiobook narrator of this book, Marin Ireland, for absolutely KICKING BUTT with their voice acting. This book was 10 million times funnier, touching, and terrifying because of them. I would not have had the same experience reading it on my own.
⁕ Most contemporaries leave me feeling sad or meh, but this one was just so freaking beautiful and funny 😭 Even moments that packed an emotional punch left me with a smile on my face.
⁕ I was not able to figure out the major plot twist/mystery of the novel until it was revealed to me by the author! It was so refreshingly not obvious but totally believable.
