I listened to this book with Libby. I loved the narrator, Natalie Naudus is one of my favorite narrators. I found this book so funny. I loved Rory and Smith’s characters so much. 

I got frustrated with Chloe and Shara a lot. Their enemies to lovers story was heavy on the enemies as they’re academic rivals. I was also really annoyed with Shara for the first 75% of this book. And Chloe, a bit as well, because she ignored Georgia for Shara. 

Overall I felt this was a lighthearted read with an air of mystery and romance. I do admire all of Casey McQuiston’s writing and felt they plotted this novel well. All the reveals came at the perfect timing. 

I wish I had an alternative graduation, too. hat would have been awesome. I gotta say, Casey McQuiston writes some cool teenagers.

Wow, I inhaled this book. I needed to know the answer just as much as Chloe (and I’m so pumped I figured stuff out before it was revealed). I started off not liking most of the characters, but they really grew on me as their complex stories unfolded. Because McQuiston really did write a ton of complex, incredibly human characters. I really loved it.
