Ugh! I finally finished this book. I almost DNF'd it multiple times, but stuck with it. It just wasn't very interesting to me, until I got about 60% into it, which is way more than I usually give a book. Up til that, every time I was reading, I would fall asleep.

I think Robbins tried to do too much in the book. He tried to combine comedy, romance, mystery, and conspiracy. I think he should have left out the comedy part. I thought ⬇️

Monica5 the romance wasn't that bad in the story, but it wasn't great either. If he would have just stuck with the mystery and conspiracy part, the book would have been a whole lot better.
