I have mixed feelings about this book.  The story was cute and engaging.  That being said, I felt there was almost too much character development and the story felt a little bit unfinished. While the two main characters' story wrapped in a somewhat satisfactory matter, the side plot with Astrid did not resolve at all.  I also feel that there was a lot of language and sexual content that did not contribute to the story at all, thus making the story less appealing to me.

Trigger warnings: racism, classism, bullying

I had a few moments where I was about to DNF because of the over the top drama. But then that same over the top drama would pull me back in. I’m divided on this one.
