Wowie zowie, I did NOT like this. With only an 80 page length between the two stories, it's an impressive speedrun of my very least favorite trope: miscommunication. If the statement "All of these people's problems could be solved with one frank 5 minute conversation." can be said about a book, it is a guarantee that I do not like that book. I really felt like this one was leaning very heavily on the format of the book, the unique binding and double sided story format, and not a whole lot of effort went into the writing and the quality of the story itself.
