Cute and funny! I loved seeing Margo and Abbie navigate social and school dynamics. Absolutely adored Margo's family; it was especially nice seeing how Margo could turn to her sibling for advice, and that he gave such clear older-brother vibes - supportive, but also an adult doing adult things. 

There were some continuity issues that bugged me - often little things that felt like they could've been fixed with another editing pass. Like, one character would refer to something that we hadn't seen them learn on-page. I wouldn't be surprised if these things happen with two authors co-writing, but it was enough to take me out of the story a few times.
