When You Get the Chance

Let's focus on the narrators first. This book is narrated by two people – cousins. One's Mark, and the other Talia (whose name I forgot for a few seconds. I only remembered Mark's because his is on a Note on my Kindle as my Notes are currently pulled up). And I felt both narrators were pretty boring. I liked Talia a tiny bit more, but that was it.

I mean, Mark, to me, felt so self-centered and boring and privileged and just, sorry, but boring again. Like instead of helping around the house he decides to have fun. He should've paid more attention to Paige, seriously. He tries to act funny but it just fails. Talia, while the (slight) better of the two narrator, tries to act like she's awkward and cool at the same time and it only makes her look more awkward and not in that cool type of way. While she is very proud of her identity, and she can most certainly be, it just felt like she was pushing all her ideas and opinions onto other people and trying to make them think like her. And people don't feel the same way and that's okay!

I love this cover so much. The font's super cool, the rainbow road and the car, all so great. But... that's about it. The third star is solely for the cover. Paige is mostly the reason why I didn't star it lower – she was at least funny, adorable, and she reads Magnus Chase so ☝
