    2.75* deciding what to rate this is difficult. my entertainment rating would be 4* but my quality rating would be 2*. This book was addictive and the plot was intriguing. i enjoyed it more than i thought i would but most of that was probably due to the incredible rebecca soler. the world building felt incomplete, the characters 2 dimensional and if i had to hear about how small and fragile the mc is one more time i was gonna lose it. the romance went from 0 to 100 so quickly and out of nowhere. however, will i continue reading the series? most likely, cause dang, was i entertained

    i was enjoying this much more than i thought it would. it’s very addictive and easy to read, and the plot intrigues me. HOWEVER, it is not well written in the sense that there are many inconsistencies and the relationships and characters are two dimensional and now that the romance has started, it just straight up annoying me. ALSO HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO BE TOLD THIS GIRL IS SMALL AND FRAGILE?

    Can I see myself reading this series for pure entertainment value? yes. Can I see myself rating this higher than 2/3*? most likely not.

    this did not focus enough on the online relationship and instead focused too much on their childish conflict
