Very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this! It had a lot of YA cringe flirting and questionable teenage decisions but what do you expect from a YA romance ya know? I enjoyed the plot twist because I considered it but didn’t think the book would be ballsy enough to do it but then they did! Loved that. So yeah a very fun, very heterosexual YA time.

A huge fan of architecture not knowing what a Murphy Bed is? Hrm.

This is basically a John Green book with a bit more diversity. Definitely meant for the teenaged crowd.

A quick read.  The foreshadowing in the beginning of the book was blatantly ovibous but I didn't see the plot twist coming.  I also didn't expect a sex scene and wished it wasn't in there.  It was fun nonetheless, much different than my usual reads.  I will add that if depictions of abusive families bother you probably don't read this book, it's not graphic but it's there.
