Thanks to the publisher for this copy!
The concept behind this is fascinating and I’d love to see a Museum of Ordinary People in person. I wish that the museum was focused on just a little bit more.
The main character is a huge people pleaser to the point where it’s detrimental to herself but of course she doesn’t see it nor is it addressed. Her boyfriend is the worst and honestly he didn’t even had much to the plot.
I can honestly say this may be the first time I can recall going from wanting to rate something five stars to wanting to DNF around the halfway point. Luckily the plot picked back up and I’m giving it a 3.5 over all
