Not sure why there is so many mixed reviews on this book. I think she did a fantastic job telling this story. I was highly entertained and routing for the two MC's. I love all the characters and would love to see Babe's story or even Atticus's story. Sahra was maybe the only character I didn't connect a lot with but I'm not sure we were supposed to. I thought for a first book Christine did a great job. I hope she writes more in the future. Companion novels to this one would be so fun.

At first I was skeptical starting this book. Some of the writing was throwing me off. And I didn’t know about the story but as I went along I really ended up enjoying it. It was cute I like the cool elements at the end and the characters were, while at time infuriating, still lovable. Overall an enjoyable book. So proud of Christine ❤️
