i loved this!!!! emma and jo have my heart 💓💓 i liked how they weren’t perfect people. for ex, jo wasn’t always the best, but i respect her for acknowledging that and apologizing and growing as a person. i loved how emma grew more secure in herself throughout the book. another thing i liked was how the chinese rep didn’t feel forced or super stereotypical which is often the case when authors write poc characters. i personally think wilsner did a great job with jo (: oh and don’t get me started on the slow burn- YALLL!! i was dyingg. at one point i kept getting annoyed cause it was taking them foreverrr to suck it up and get together, but that first kiss was worth it omg. i just love them and this book sm <333
