I love this book

but Cooper being gay kinda threw it for me and knocked it down for me, plus allllll the secular talk about hooking up and all that was not my cup of tea. otherwise this would’ve been a 5 star read. THE ENDING THO BRO IT WAS SO DEPRESSING AHHH I mean I knew who it wasn’t the wholllle time. I knew it wasn’t any of the 4, for a while I thought it might be the teacher and for a split second I thought it was Maeve and thennn for a while I thought it was jake but never did I think it was a dark suicidal murder pinning conspiracy. It was well written tho. The characters all had their large flaws. But good moments as well.

it was good and fun. it wasnt anthing that shocked me or made me feel any intense emotions but i enjoyed it. i guessed the ending about 82 pages in and i wasnt amazed. i would reread it if i needed a little more frenemies to lovers in my life but other than that it was okay.

When I first started reading this book, I did not have high expectations but it proved me wrong. I expected to give this book 3 stars at most but now I think it’s worth a 4.
