Wow, just wow.  This book was so beautiful from the story and characters to the vibrant pink cover.  Having said that it wasn’t an instant love for me.  This book might have taken a few chapters to fall in love with, but I truly did.  All the characters were thought out and amazing in their own ways, but the Super Six were something else.  The humor, characters, plot, love story, and happy ending all add to the love I have for this book and I’m so glad I read it.  I might have started out with wanting to read Alex and Henry’s story, but I ended up getting a whole lot more wonderful characters and romances out of it.

This is a book I loved so much I wanted to reread it. The writing is fun, clever, beautiful in places and humorously casual often. The relationship is warm and resonant, and the underpinning theme is fiercely hopeful. There is a lot more sex, drinking, and even drugs than I am truly comfortable with, but I still love this book. Like despite the poor decisions and bastardry, I can't help loving Alex (Henry is less conflicting to me). I expect I'll reread this one again...maybe in another 4 years, if I need a dose of hope and distraction.

Beautiful book, set in real-world politics without reminders of the people in charge. Funny on its own, but funnier knowing the people they’re talking about!

This book is good, and adorable, and cute. Casey McQuiston is a great author, and clearly a very intelligent person. This book is in third person, which I personally didn’t like, it being in 3rd didnt add anything extra to the book.
