Hello everyone and how's it going? I hope you all are doing awesome! As for me I am feeling fantastic, excited, a little bit scared, and amazing! Why? You might be asking.

1 star, DNF. This book wasn't for me, even though I was looking forward to it based on the description. I almost gave up in the first chapter, but kept going thinking things would improve.
