I put this book off for so long because I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as Birthday Girl or live up to the hype from booktok. I was wrong. It was so much better than I could have expected so many twists and turns and such a good representation of what high school is and how badly everyone wants to fit in. I will definitely be rereading this soon

I hated the way they treated each other for the majority of the story.  It just wasn’t my type of story.  I’m sure plenty of people would be into it though.

I'm rather uncomfortable with the explicit s*x scene between two 18 year olds. I'm aware it happens. I, as a 30 year old, don't want to read or see it happening.
