So far this is hilarious in a really dark way. I like that Paige has taken it and twisted the concept so that it's clearly recognizable, makes references to both movie and book, and takes it from a semi-meta perspective.

That being said, as much as I've enjoyed the opening to the book and the way the information is spread out and shared (little to no info dumping) I can't help but feel that maybe starting in the middle of the story instead of the beginning would have helped a lot. Much like how The Wrath and The Dawn starts in the middle and provides background later. That aside enjoying it so far

I enjoy Amy as a character, she embodies the snarky self doubting teenager we all are at one point or another in our lives.

I currently have mixed feelings about it
