Between the really bad editing and feeling like the author couldn’t keep her story straight, it was painful to keep reading until the end.

This might be the worst book I've read. It's really badly written, unimaginative, with prose as if it was written by a teenager. Unfortunately, the book is disappointing and does not captivate the reader. The first-person narrative feels very cheap. It reads like bad diary entries from fifteen-year-olds. It all sounds amateurish. I cannot count the times I was rolling my eyes at the cringy dialogue or the cringy narration. The characters are flat and dull despite the author trying hard to portray them as complex and unique. The story is shallow and it lacks any depth or interesting elements. The plot is predictable and very unoriginal. Every storyline and character (the "romance," the parents, the ex, the friends) is pulled from the book of cliches. The author thinks a girl playing video games is the epitome of cool.

Most of the book is filled with unnecessary descriptions of what the characters are wearing, which does not really add anything to character development. The "romance" between Ariel and Milo also lacks any depth. We are to believe they have this amazing connection, and we get about 150 pages of detailed (albeit bad) sex scenes between them, but barely any real conversation that makes me think these two have a connection beyond sexual attraction.

It feels like the book is catered to teenagers. But I don’t think it offers teenagers anything of literary relevance (art, creativity, imagination, immersion). Overall, the book is not inspiring and fails to offer any compelling or thought-provoking moments.
