Okay, this book disappointed me in the fact that I wished there was more to the characters and the plot. It just felt rushed to me and the important parts and themes were minor honestly. The slight plot twist towards the end of the book was nice and the ending made me like this book more, but it just didn't stand out to me. The horror and paranormal part of the book felt meh, and I mean, I understand because it is MG, but I just felt there could have been some more to the book in those aspects. Overall, it was a decent book with a happy ending, but that's all it was.

I listened to this book as an audiobook and it was definitely intriguing, hilarious, and relatable. I enjoyed the multi-POV aspect of the book and the detail to the different characters and their actions. However, I felt like there was a lot left unanswered and the ending felt cut off which was disappointing :/

I absolutely loved this book ❤️ I could not stop reading it and I related to the MC so much. Honestly, this book helped me realize more about myself that I didn't know so that was amazing. The uncertainty, the self-questioning, the ace-rep, everything was perfect and made me feel better about myself. It was real and funny through and through and I'd definitely reread this again in the future!
