I really really love this book .it took me 2 days to read the 2nd and 3rd book .the whole series is really addictive and easy to read like I could not stop. I am also really invested in the storyline. Steve is such a smart and endearing mc to follow and I love the non binary and anxiety rep .
My main problem with the book however was how much I hated Steve and David's romance . I could not bring myself to like him and the romance comes out of nowhere for me they barely had 3 or 4 meaning less conversations and they were making out the characters were also In my opinion not very fleshed out and were all archetypes and lacked depth to them
The 2nd book also was kinda unsatisfying I feel like it'd be better if it was all one single book with 3 parts
There were also some weird parts in the book where things get kinda unhinged the potrayl of teens in the book was also kinda unrealistic I can not imagine anybody actually acting like how some of the characters do in highschool
