I love this book but I think it might be nostalgia from my first read through of it in high school. The main character can come off as super annoying at first, but I think that’s sort of the point because she does see a lot of development throughout the series. The romance moves a little quickly for my taste now that I’m older, but I do still find them to be very cute together. It’s also not as diverse as I would have preferred either. Overall, it’s cute and fun and kept me engaged even during my third reread. It’s not groundbreaking but I don’t think it’s supposed to be.
