This book had me reading like I haven't read in MONTHS!!

Spoiler

Ratings lowered slightly because of how self-love is portrayed as a flip of a switch probably due to the rushing of the narrative in the last few chapters

The story took a long time to get going, and the MC

Spoiler

spent most of the book being self absorbed and lying to everyone she cares about. It seemed like she was aware she was making bad choices but she didn’t care enough to change until the very end. I was disappointed that after she realizes how much she cares for Sam, she still goes to the gala with Nico because he was persistent and Sam wasn’t answering her texts or calls.

The MC’s friends and family were all much more likeable, and I’d rather read about them.

CW: deadnaming. One of the side characters deadnames Elliot Page. It was published after he came out so someone at the publisher should have caught that before going to print even if the scene was written before he came out, and they could have fixed it in the audiobook but they didn’t.

Extensive HP and JKR references. The deadnaming is likely accidental since the celebrity came out less than a month before the book's release date.

This was a very fun and light-hearted book I related so much to Tessa. It has a huge cast of diverse characters starting from POC to people with disabilities. The problem for me was that there was just something missing like I can't really put my hand on it but something was missing for me.

Spoiler

Tbh I wanted a cute reunion scene for Sam and tessa at the end after she read the chapters like yeah that way she told us they'll be together but nahh I really wanted to see it🥲

I really wish the book will be adapted to a movie though I can tell it'd be one of my favs as a movie.
