Review: I really enjoyed this book because the characters were all very relatable. The way it was told was also very personal; it was like Max was having a conversation about her adventures with me.

4 stars

Review: I gave this book a 4 star rating because I liked the plot. It was super unexpected. The plot twists were well done. This book is a good science fiction, but the science fiction was hard to understand at times. The humor in the book was good as well, and it was fun to read. The book did get slow partway through, but it was definitely worth it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants something short and easy to read.
