This book was super cute. The idea of a famous bookseller who had not wrote in years hosting a game to win the only copy of his newest book was great! It was fun, it was magically, but sadly, it was also forgettable. I'm not sure if it's cause my head is so far stuck up into fantasy land, but this book didn't have any real umph to it. Sure, it was sweet and fast paced, but there weren't really any big plot points that were super noticeable. The one thing I will say about this book is that it did a really good job of talking about hard topics. It put them in a way to where you could understand what someone might go through, but it didn't make you depressed the whole book. Overall, this book was just okay to me. I honestly expected more.
