I really wanted there to be more to the plot and I felt like there was some plot holes.. the romance was alright

It’s ok. I think theres a lot of heavy miscommunication which makes it harder for me to enjoy. I read this book a while back and can’t remember the entire plot but I do remember complaining about it quite a bit. If you like a frustrating read then be my guest but I enjoyed the diversity and inclusion of my youths issues… if that makes sense.

This was really good, but there was almost too much story crammed in. Some things got started then dropped, like Aaliya and Tessa tutoring each other in calculus and cross-country competition. They agreed, then we never saw any of it. We hear about Nessa's finish position, but nothing about Aaliyah's grades. Also, if you come in first at regional, you are going to state, but the state meet isn't in the story. Somebody who runs that much would want to run in college, too, so is she looking at scholarships, D3 schools, what?

None of these are big problems, but I wish the story had more than relationship angst.
