This was a super easy binge-able read! I relate to many of the characters, they are also super realistic to teenagers in the modern day and age.
I can’t tell you how many times I belly laughed during this book. The slow burn AHHHH YESSS
I never knew how much I liked childhood friends to strangers to rivals to lovers till now.
However I didn’t like how Grey was one of those type of sports girls that reject any kind of femininity towards themselves (it’s obviously ok not to be feminine but I didn’t like how it was portrayed in this book).
But toward the end it died off and she was just Grey, none of that stuff.
So yeah that’s all lol, 4/5
