Challenges

• It was a challenge working on different components & redux store states that would not negatively interact with others. It was difficult to think modularly and ensure that everyting worked correctly and rendered the way I want it.

Anything you had to stop and think about before building

Redux, especially where to call the thunk and how to set the response JSON in the routes so that my state would render the way I can query for cars and host details and also reviews and user deatils.
