This book was alright. It was a bit cookie-cutter; typical 2010's book and not the best I've ever read. Some of the characters were cute, though none were particularly well fleshed out. The plot definitely felt more told than seen.
Also, it really needed more editing. The first 20 or so pages switched between present and past tense almost every paragraph which made getting started difficult.
It was cute, and maybe if I'd read it at a younger age I would have really liked it, but with the other similar books I've read and can compare to, there are definitely others I'd rather reread.
