i bought this book in freshman yr of high school i think? and never finished it. im glad i did! the thing is is that i like the characters but the love story between mad and vic is inspiring ig but sooo not believable imo and also cringe. like everytime vic flirted w mad im like where is this rizz coming from??? the boy who has been bullied his whole life and has never talked to a girl suddenly comes out of his shell within 2 days and can pull a hot punk girl??? who is OLDER than him no less??? so ya the cringey forced love story ruined it for me i would have rather them just become besties!
but it was moving and arnold’s voice is entertaining. glad i read but i def suffered thru the y/a classic aspects

I love how the plot was slowly building up. And I mean very slowly. I feel like this book is more focus on Vic's dad bcs Vic always looked up at his dad and is on the mission to scattered his ashes. However, the book also focus on the main five characters. Their backstory are so devastating especially Baz and Zuz's. And if you read this book you can see how important Coco's role in the Baz and Zuz's life. There's also a little bit mystery lingering behind.
