This book was very mid. And I can't tell if it was just too YA for me or if it was actually just very mid. I have to be honest, I couldn't stand the main character. The way she put herself as the victim in EVERY situation was frustrating and eye roll-inducing. She doesn't treat the people around her well and is then surprised to receive backlash. The pacing also felt strange in places, some parts that I thought could be interesting were skipped over quickly while others were drawn out that were boring and didn't really advance the plot in any way significant. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to like this book a lot. I think it is a fun idea and I really wanted to see the MC come out (ha!) on top. But the whole thing fell a little flat to me apart from some key moments that I did think showed importance and significance and were trying to tell something meaningful. Unfortunately for me they got lost in the book.

THIS WAS SO FREAKING CUTE. Adorable and queer - it gave me some You Should See Me In a Crown vibes.
