This was stupid in a way that I couldn't have fun with or enjoy, and it made me feel nothing at all. There was no kicking my feet, no cozy feelings. Everything you think will happen happens, and that's not a problem if the story still makes me feel something. Not the case here.
Nothing much happens except one-dimensional, adult characters acting like teenagers and making stupid, immature decisions so there could be some drama. And it was boring drama, the worst kind. It went by fast, it was something to listen to while I was working, and the narrator was very good; that's it.
It's a 1-star not because I passionately hate it, or I think it's the worst book ever written, or I had an awful time with it, it's a 1-star because it gave me absolutely nothing. It made my head feel empty and that kind of reading experience is a sin in my book.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, there's truly no anger or any other kind of emotion behind my words, it's just my honest-to-God impressions and feelings.
