The casual writing style seemed fairly simple but had a fun, creative flare that brought the cosy small-town setting and storyline to life. I also loved the banter and wit infused into the conversations, as these regularly made me smile and laugh.

The simple writing effortlessly creates a fun, easy read, and I found the alternating points of view (POV) very satisfying. However, much of the story is told instead of shown, making it less gripping.

The simple, emotive writing flows beautifully with vivid details that enrich the raw storyline. Besides this, transitions between past and present events are smoothly executed without affecting the controlled pace of the story.

The relaxed, casual writing style is strengthened by vivid descriptions that keep the story engaging and immersive. I also loved the media elements, such as text messages, emails and internet searches, which made the story more interesting.

The lush writing style flows beautifully with rich analogies and witty humour. I especially loved the Afro-Caribbean and pop culture references, which made the narrative engaging and fun. Besides this, natural, well-written dialogues help propel the storyline forward and define the characters.
