There are many different sexualities, ethnicities, religions, and body types discussed.
Few comments i find derogatory thought but author handled it carefully. And the author left with cliffhanger whom with molly go. Did Olivia and Reid are actually a couple to last for lifetime or its gonna end soon. Although Olivia had her break up but she showed the brave side of herself.
Leah is the narrator of this book and her shy, timid character broken by author in her story. She is a bit straight up and brash but I totally loved it, and it’s nice to see girls in YA getting more diverse, complex personalities that transcend archetypes. She, and this book in general, was also hilarious which is of course a massive plus. I seriously don't get why everyone's hating her as a character, although the group had gay and author bring an angle of bisexual. Her love or confusion for Garrett is different thing and she doesn't want her mother to be in a relationship with wells and run her life on his financial status. Her lowkey bi relationship with Abby and friends going to roadtrip for some fun and before prom and school got over and they leave for college without proper ending and she came to know about her sexual orientation and all girls band will it survive or not and Morgan racist remaining remarks bit made the environment gloomy but simon relationship is going good and other friends too but Leah decisions launch Some peace to life of people but mostly it cause trouble.
