I really like this book. I took my time reading it because I didn’t want it to end. Zoe, you’re a great writer and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

I love this book! At first I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy it, I really love all of Zoe Sugg’s books so I’m pretty sure I’ll at least like it. I can’t stop listening to it and love it so much! I hope there will be a 2nd book.

I managed to listen to this book in ONE DAY! Honestly, I didn’t mean to do this, but I can’t stop listening! The story really intrigued me! It feels like there’s a cozy familiar element but then again, I haven’t read anything like it in a long time. The storytellers did a great job, the plot was something I couldn’t quite figure out before and it kept me interested the whole time!
Great read, really can’t wait for more! Love love love! Congratulations Zoe and Amy!
