4 out of 5 starsI think I messed up when I ordered this because I meant to order it in berry and have the saying be the same as in the picture, but the color was yellow when my friend got it instead of berry. Luckily, my friend loved it though in yellow, but I guess if you say “as shown” it doesn’t mean just the saying but the color as well in the photo. Despite this one ordering issue though, I still love it and my friend did so would give 5 stars if not for the ordering trouble.
