mysterious
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.0
I realized I had never written a review for this book the first time I read it a year and a half ago, so here goes:
Positives: the "popcorn" read-ability - these are so quick and fun! I also enjoy the POV switches.
The not-so-great aspects: the writing is very juvenile (it reads more like a pre-teen book to me, and not reflective of the age of the characters, if that makes sense). this is DEFINITELY a product of its time: the way more serious topics are discussed so flippantly rubs me the wrong way at times (i.e. eating disorders, age-gap relationships)
Although my thoughts have remained the same, I am excited to see where this series goes!
