I definitely wasn’t the age range for this so I think some qualms I have are just due to me being too old for the book. I was having a hard time sticking with the book at first, but eventually I felt like the book picked up and was much better.
I do feel like the author accidentally laid the groundwork to a queer love story though. Danita and Jazz’s relationship was 10x more interesting and had way more chemistry and spark than hers and Steve’s, whose only personality trait could be described as “nice”.
