I enjoyed this, had a scary moment in the middle where I thought the MCs were gonna be related and I would get Cassandra Clare-d but thankfully not. Didn't try to push the romance too hard which I appreciated as well. Taylor could have been a little less 'oh I'm so ugly compared to my bestie' YA gal but if you can get through the beginning she stops bringing it up. Not sure they needed to make her ex that much of an asshole to prove they shouldn't be together tho. Sacha needs therapy the boy's died way too many times. Really liked it.
Graphic: Death, Gun violence, Violence, Blood, Death of parent, and Murder
