Honestly, this book is fantastic. It's fun and easy to read with dynamic characters and a fun subplot of the game, Howl. 
Neil is a fantastically complex character who quickly becomes likeable. The story with his dad is heartbreaking and makes his strive for greatness easier to understand.
Spoiler Honestly, one of my biggest problems with the book is Rowan using this trauma against him. She was forgiven much too fast for saying something like that.
Additionally, his friend group is clearly very close, and it is nice to see male friendship depicted in such a vulnerable way. 
It was also nice to see Rowan's Jewish and Mexican upbringing explored, especially focusing on how Rowan's life was influenced by others' perceptions of Judaism. 
If you have issues with an overused miscommunication trope, I would suggest avoiding this book because the lack of communication between characters is shocking and frustrating. Additionally, I at times struggled keeping track of whose name Rowan had in the game of Howl which drove me nuts towards the end.
Spoiler When the heck did she get Brady's name?

Overall, this is an enjoyable novel and is great if you want a lot of playful banner and a lowkey version of an enemies to lovers romance.
