This was light and carefree and took me away from what I was up to every day. Some of the characters were annoying and they didn't really develop much, but as someone who has always forced myself to do everything alone, I identified with the main character, which is probably why she annoyed me. Overall, good read to just opt out of your own life for a bit.

heartwarming but at times irritating. a LOT of chapters which made it feel like a slower read than it really was.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

I didn't care for the narrator on this - it just wasn't my style of reader. It made me feel like I was listening to a bad LifeTime movie but I'm not at home sick, I was just trying to hear the story. Would like to try reading it in my own head.
