Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book! My issue with this collection is that it sounds like everyone else and is a bit unmemorable. Yes, there were at least 10 Taylor Swift references, but just please post on Tumblr. If I wasn't reading an ARC, I would have DNFed around 30% at max.
