3.0

This was underwhelming and basically a reimagining of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Nicole & Francis, Luna & Alex, and Stella & Harlow seemed way more mature than your average teenagers/young adults which unintentionally added to the unrealism of the plot. I’d recommend reading this in digital or print, because all of the characters blended together in the audio version–even Stella who was supposed to be a standout character.
