The premise was definitely interesting, but the execution, not as much. Sally Thorne of one of the booktok famous authors with The Hating Game and thought maybe this newest book will be good. Haven't read The Hating Game, but if the writing style is similar, my ambivalence towards booktok recommendations is affirmed once again.
Characters improved a bit towards the end, but Will's sudden change of heart did not make sense to me. The characters felt flat for at least 65% of the book.
