I read a lot of literary fiction, but try to take in a diversity of content. Sometimes you just need to read something that is going to pull you in and entertain you, especially if you tend to gravitate to books that continuously bum you out for the sake of intellectual stimulation. Jeneva's TikTok intrigued me, because her personality and sense of humor seem fantastic. So I embarked on what I anticipated to be either a cynical snark read or, at best, a delightfully surprising romp through a smut-adjacent beach read.

This isn't literary fiction, and that's okay. It's easy to read and contains the twists and intrigue it promises. If you don't take yourself or your reading so seriously, this is a great book to just enjoy and not over analyze. Could I offer critique of the plot, characters, and general concept? Yeah. Is that fucking stupid to do considering this book has done just fine as it is? Yep.

If I'm being a snobby bitch, this book is not great. But if I'm being someone who enjoys taking in a story and seeing how it goes, this is book is perfect.
