Not my favorite Jane… also I think clueless is a better movie then this is a book. For some reason it never connected with me. Loved the autistic coded Mr.wood house tho.

Interesting and definitely unique, the chosen ending left something to be desired though.

I found the characters to be VERY annoying. For reference in the first book “ Delilah green doesn’t care” I found the characters equally as annoying. Almost the exact same book tbh. I don’t regret reading it as it took me less then 4 days but definitely nothing new. Was cute though.. 💖????

It would take me 30 pages to properly review this book. I didn’t read the others in the series and the characters/names were VERY hard to follow! Still jaw dropping. Slay.

Annoyed me how much the author used “lavender” as a descriptor! We get it it’s gay XD. Will read other books by author tho.

Soooo close to perfect! (Minus the annoying sexism and racism and one or two spots that don’t seem ressonable)
