Welp.
This was underwhelming.
Don't get me wrong, I still read it in one sitting.
But aside from Noah and Ryan, I either didn't care about or didn't like the characters much. I kept mixing up Reina and Brandy who could have been the same person, really. I disliked Anderson, I didn't really like or care about Kate...
Overall, this one is kind of a miss for me.

I really wanted to like this but there was too much I couldn't get passed. Like who was Matt?? Apparently a cute guy who likes theatre and is gay and has a mom named Ellen, a dad he doesn't get along with and a tree in his room. Those were all the details I could gather from him. I mean I didn't really care if he ended up with either of them. I was almost wanting no one to end up together. It felt repetitive without more details. I will say this. I listened to it within 48 hours max. If I picked it up every day or two... Then I probably would have enjoyed it more.it was an ok read and I. Happy to have read it, but just wasn't extra amazing. Oh I will say I really liked Noah and her budding relationship with her brother. Wish we had more of those interactions.

Also, audiobook was a bit tough to follow when there was texts or quick exchanges. I couldn't tell who was talking a couple of times. But that was an audiobook thing.
