This is exactly how I felt! My friend LOVES this book so I went in with high expectations. But I was just bored…like you said the whole plot was laid out halfway through, the motive for Wally’s killings were weak, and her mom living in the town FOR WHAT!? It made no sense and I had to force myself to get through the last 3/4 of the book. I felt like I was skimming through it because my mind kept wandering off because there was nothing to hold my focus so I thought it was just me thinking I missed reading something that made the plot better, but I’m glad to know it wasn’t just me!
Thank you! I literally just didn’t understand the point of the book. I’m glad your friend liked it though (even though I’m definitely questioning their taste now 😂)
@@kimberlyreads I’m returning the book to her today…I got some questions for her hahaha. I will report back if she says anything new that helps us understand 😅
@@kimberlyreads yeah why wouldn’t they go to the cops if their fretting about Waldo so much. The secret of a magic town is more important than re-uniting with your wife?
The book made no sense and so many plot holes. I don’t even get the ending. And was the printing press in the town able to make secret towns in it?
I literally have no idea. I was just as confused by this ridiculous book as you were 😂

Totally agree with your comments, to many plot holes and exactly what did Nell do at the end to move the town? Thanks for the review.
I totally lost track of what was happening at the very end with Nell and what she was doing and how. So frustrating
you said EVERYTHING i wanted to say hahahhha
😂😂 glad I’m not the only highly confused person at what this author was thinking

The fact it's a surprise fantasy book was the biggest letdown for me. I thought I was getting National Treasure
Same! I was having major NT vibes at the beginning of the book
I LOVED it and read it twice!
Omg thank you. I just did NOT understand the motives of the characters at all.
Great review saw this nook on pango definitely skipping it sounds like this book has a bunch of plot holes. Thx!
THE INTRO 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I DNFed this at about the halfway point. After listening to your review I feel like I made a good decision.
Yeah I wish I had DNFed it to be honest. You definitely made the right call!
