I really enjoyed the story and Kuang's satirizing of the publishing world. The story read fast and had good bumps and turns. I didn't like the main character, Juniper, but I also wanted to see where she ended up. The ace storytelling made it a compelling read.

The writing itself was a little disappointing. It's definitely not flashy and quite plane, almost "styleless." It's very straightforward, and that lost something for me. 

All in all, this was just a good book to read in the summer.
