YA is not really my cup of tea, but I could not pass up the opportunity to read a book with aroace characters! 

This one was easy to read and the "mystery" of the characters not  knowing who was behind each account kept me engaged. I will say that Joe was a bit too dramatic for my liking and she was not the most likeable character lol. I found it kind of hard to believe that Sophie liked her so much bc her personality was...interesting. 

Had this not had any aroace rep, I would not have picked it up, but I liked where the story went and that there are YA books available with aroace representation in them~ 

Would recommend!

The drama and Instagram rivalry between Wendy and Wanda felt a bit too much for me me but was ultimately resolved quite maturely. I loved all the acespec discussions in the book, I felt very seen.

This book made me feel seen. The platonic love story is so cute, the characters were relatable, the voice was perfect. I loved it.
