I really enjoyed the first half of three quarters of this book for the most part but really didn’t like the ending for the most part overall I enjoyed this and enjoyed some of the character relationships but overall wasn’t something I loved and I do wish we got to see more of what happens after high school in the epilogue etc
Edit: also I just went to look at the content warnings cause there are always a lot I forget and apparently the ones for this book are author approved which is good whatever except the author didn’t mention like a lottt of really important ones? Like outing or medical content which are majorrr in that book like wtf - sorry that just pissed me off a lot

like someone else’s review was saying, they could have easily just had it be Evelyn without bringing Nadia and Bellamy into it. Also I will say that I predicted it would be Evelyn from the beginning so it wasn’t exactly a surprise but I did nottt predict the other two and really think it could have done without that. Also I’m kinda proud of myself that I predicted Christian was going to be queer from the beginning lol but I really loved the relationship between him and Ben - definitely one of my favorite partsEdit: also I just went to look at the content warnings cause there are always a lot I forget and apparently the ones for this book are author approved which is good whatever except the author didn’t mention like a lottt of really important ones?
