 At first I didn't like it. Frankly, I thought it was cringe. Misery's name being Misery (odd) and Lowe being named Lowe (not hot sounding) were two things I found jarring at the start, along with the general Wattpad-y plot and writing. Thank god I pushed through, because at about 20-25% this book grabbed me out of nowhere. Suddenly I was squealing into the pillow and kicking my feet at scenes, I was totally absorbed. I couldn't wait for it to end, not out of boredom but out of a deep need to know what would happen next. 

Although I miss the world already, I wouldn't re-read it. I still maintain it's very Wattpad-y, but I've discovered that's not an inherently bad thing. It's fun, unserious. A good time. Shut off your brain and give it a try.
