Summary: (spoiler-free)
Jordan (the main character) was working on getting a role in her school’s paper, hoping for an editor role to help her career of being a journalist but it doesn’t work out as planned and now has to work with an ex-friend/crush who happens to be the captain of the volleyball team who Jordan was assigned to write for. Is she able to put aside the past or does it all get to her?
This was such an enjoyable book. From the amazing cast of characters who were flawed, unique, and fit so perfectly with one another; to the plot and drama of this book it was all done so well. I loved the characters and how detailed they were, the relationships, both romantic and platonic, were done so well. They all had such a good history and interacted flawlessly with one another.
Jordan has to be one of the nicest journalists (even high school level) to ever exist. Even with her flaws and things she messed up at one point, she owned up to her mistakes and genuinely fixed them and worked on making the situation better.
I loved the ending and how things came together in the last chapter. And of course, this cover was absolutely adorable. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books along with the author for this eARC of this book.
