This was a quick, easy read that reminded me of To All the Boys, the Do-Over and Better Than the Movies (although nothing can top BTTM!) Although its a fun read it also deals with more serious topics such as racism and losing loved ones in a way that never felt too heavy or emotional. I wasn't a massive fan of the third-act conflict and the overall pacing of the book felt a bit fast but I did enjoy it.
