Ok yes, definitely followed and enjoyed this reread much better! Sometimes it’s just the time and headspace you’re in that helps with the reading experience. I remember watching a booktuber and she was reading this book and then said ew ew gross, annnnnd I could not for the life of me remember what she could’ve been referring to. Then it happened and yes 100% eww and I hope it changes within book 2! 

I am committed to seeing this series through, much more enjoyable than TOG personally. It reads as YA but the characters are digestible and lots of comic relief. And excited to learn more about the side characters also!
