I liked the story, and loved the relationship, but I didn't like the elements of fetishization of lesbians, and the complete lack of good diverse representation which is something to consider (and also why I can't rate above a 2).

I loved Allie and Dean so much. Both of their characters were really fun and had a lot of unique personality.

My point in case: They both become obsessed with a French soap opera that that neither of them can actually understand bc neither of them speak French💀

The banter and humor in this book was also amazing. There were so many times I actually laughed out loud.

I really like how this series builds on itself in a way. You can read all the books as standalones, but I wouldn’t suggest it. I loved the characters in the other books, so I love seeing those same characters constantly throughout this series. Plus, I really like the depth in which you get to know each character, due to them all having their separate books. 

But, this book does have strong themes of grief and

loss of a parent, as well as friend.

While this isn’t the main focus of the book, it may be very difficult to read for some.

Would be a better book if it weren't for all the slut-shaming, sexism and subtle, but still noticeable, lesbophobia, homophobia, transphobia and racism.
