This was an enjoyable read. I was already a fan of the Tiktok series, which is why I picked this up. But I couldn't help but feel it was lacking something, though I can't quite put my finger on what, that keeps it from 5 stars.

JC's motivations for getting involved in the larger plot felt a bit thin without the (non-cannon) context of the Tiktok series. I think spending a bit more time with JC getting close to the Cafe staff might have helped sell it. Honestly all of the characters expert Violet seemed a little under developed.
