This book has extreme insta-love, and the main character is a horrible bestfriend. Justice for Imani!!!

A cute queer romance told from the perspective of the two main characters. The story takes place in the span of a weekend but with several flashbacks. At times it was a slow read, and I could’ve used more details in the flashback’s but overall I enjoyed this story.

This one wasn't a personal favorite, mainly because I had a really hard time with Olivia as a character--she is purposefully selfish, and she does eventually realize the impact of her actions, but it is almost at the end. I just didn't know why her friends would have stuck around for so long. There is a lot going on plot-wise, with both Toni and Olivia having their own goals for the festival weekend. I definitely think that people looking for sapphic YA with flawed main characters will enjoy this, it just wasn't a personal fave.
