I really loved this book. I knew pretty quickly who SN was. I’m not sure if that was intended but it didn’t make the book bad by knowing. I think the characters in this book are very likable most of the time and I love the “found family” kind of thing going on. It’s a very sweet and good read and I was smiling sooooo big at the end. I absolutely loved it.

The idea behind this was cute. The mysterious secret text admirer was what kept me reading.
I enjoyed the story for the most part but the writing ruined it for me. The characters were not realistically written like early highschool-age teens. Reading the dialogue was awkward and cringey, and the internal monologue of the protagonist was as well. That, and a few times in the book there was an uncomfortable description of the protag's sexuality/body that felt really out of place. Topics regarding sex and sexuality are of course topics that can and should be accessible in YA books, but the instances it was used in this book felt objectifying and needless.

the book wasn’t super captivating but i am obsessed with the ending. i wanted it to be ethan so badly but i thought it was too obvious but the way that all three of them were there made it perfect. and the small references to their relationship online and offline was so so cute.
