I just don't think Ali Hazelwood is ever going to be a favourite author for me. I enjoyed this generally, but it wasn't a stand out for me. Her writing style is fun at times but can be cringy at others. The characters felt similar to the other book I've read from her (which seems to be a common theme), though I enjoyed the video game setting/conversations. I think part of the reason this didn't work as well as others I've read from her, though, is due to the narrator. I didn't particularly gel with the narration style, and it annoyed me that she pronounced Viola as Vila and Otto as Auto, it took me two hours to realise "Auto" was actually called Otto. Overall, a bit of a fun time to listen to when doing chores but nothing special.
Graphic: Sexual content
