The story was interesting and I did like most of the characters but I feel like the author tried too hard to make this book funny and entertaining. It felt forced and while it was amusing at the beginning it got annoying pretty quickly.

Also can we talk about the absolutely unnecessary - and of course inappropriate - body shaming!? This book is obviously targeted towards young girls/young teens and yet you can read stuff like "fette Schl*mpe" (fat b*tch in English) in this. That personally shocked me and definitely knocked down my rating quite a bit.

Misschien ben ik gewoon iemand die af en toe een simpel boek wil lezen, maar I love this. Ik heb dit boek vroeger heel vaak gelezen en ik vind hem nog steeds leuk.
Soms een beetje cringy? Ja. Maar wat verwacht je als je als 20-jarige een boek leest wat gemaakt is voor jongere meiden? 
We love Henry, we love het concept van droomdeuren, we love Kerstin Gier
