Thank you to Net Galley for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
This book follows Pablo, our main protagonist and the only character who we follow in POV and his relationship with a famous pop star, as well as his dealing with his deep debt and mental health.
Sadly I didn't really like this book. There was nothing to endear the characters to me, and I just didn't like it.
The boyish banter between Pablo and his friends was a bit much for me (I typically don't like boys as my POV for some reason), the snacks and pop culture references went straight over my head and I just felt so old reading this! Maybe I've outgrown YA contemporary which is a shame.
The only problems I had when reading this were my own personal problems. I do recommend this, especially if you liked her previous book.
Trigger warnings for anxiety, depression and talk of debt problems.
