Listen, I like this author. I enjoyed a School for Good and Evil... but like... this a collection... for adults. He wrote about twenty-something undercover cop pretending to be a high schooler having sex [Note: did not write the sex scenes, but boy howdy were the referenced!] with a freshly eighteen-year-old. With YA tones. I would not call this a YA book outside of the tone it was written.

The premise was cool, but the tone this was written in just felt too juvenile to work.
