    I'm so boooored. They keep saying stuff like "we weren't prepared for what was in store for us" dundundun! Like okay ??? I'm halfway through the book and you've now said that at the end of every chapter how about making something actually happen that isn't incredibly tropey and uninteresting. I'm going to finish it because people are saying on Storygraph that there's a good twist at the end. Someone lowkey spoiled it a bit by hinting too much (on Storygraph) so now I don't even know if it's worth it or not. Can anyone tell me if this book picks up and is actually worth pushing through.

    Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. After this book has been sitting on my TBR for years and has been one of the TBR veterans for so long, it turned into a running joke that I will never actually read it and it will just chill on my TBR forever. And maybe it should've.

    There wasn't a single thing I liked about it. It was incredibly boring, nothing has happened, the world is not that interesting, the main character is the most lifeless uninteresting mptherfucker I've ever read about and even the book is not edited well with million typos and mistakes.

    The audiobook narrator did a solid job though, I liked the slight Spanish accent.

    I don't recommend this, and I genuinely don't understand people who rated this with 5 stars. Maybe they see some deeper message here and shit, but this was so predictable and poorly developes that I couldn't care less about it. What a waste of time.
