Oh yeah—this book also makes me glad I didn’t do any freaky stuff in high school. No dirt on me. None that matter at least… lack of evidence too…

I think I like Terrell, hope he’s not secretly a bad guy. I’m not a fan of mystery, they keep me guessing and I can’t trust anyone 😣
(That’s the point, but I’m still scared when everything blows up in my face)

I do like how easy the style of writing is and it’s my type of read generally speaking, but I have a hard time with main characters I don’t love (and I don’t mean imperfect ones, I love love them if they’re written well). How can Chiamaka expect those near her (Jamie) to actually love and care for her when she’s also self absorbed and treats everyone else like they’re below her?

The writing is decent, but the jokes are super unfunny. I don’t know what in “I’m the reincarnation of Jane Austen’s asshole” is making Chiamaka laugh so hard. The setting and characters are a little unrealistic I feel, but I’m just at the beginning so maybe once I’m actually learning more about their lore they’ll seem more “real”. Anyways, I do hope this book is a 4 stars at least.
