This book had me hooked within the first 50 pages, and by the last 50, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the complex themes and characters, and the relationship development between Ollie and Lara was very sweet and mature. I’m a bit fan of slow-burns and the enemies-to-lovers arc, and this was both. Feminism and “girlhood” were two huge themes of the book, and the various layers of “women supporting women” were all beautiful.
