The story was pretty good. I will say I liked part 2 better than part 1. that’s when things kicked in, the party itself was by far the most interesting part (and the events that unfolded afterwards). Part 1 was satisfying but for me I really had to get through it cuz at times it dragged. Didn’t like how at the end there were some super irrelevant characters. That felt unnecessary. But i’m happy with the ending and the story overall.

spice: /

like all of taylor jenkins reids books this book was kind of sad but i learned so many things
i also really liked the concept of this book (that the whole book was about one day)
it was kind of hard to read and to get into but i still really liked the book!
if you are looking for a sad, challenging and inspiring summer read, this book is perfect for you
