This is the most quintessential mid 2010s book ever. I relived high school through this (sans the LA vibes). I loved the slow burn and I loved the friendships. I also loved how the main character was technically a supporting character in Ava’s main character life story. This really felt like what most books with “quiet and quirky girls” aspire to because it’s a slow dawning that she’s not actually the lead in her own book. Really well written. Overall I was a bit bored but the merit of this book is undeniable.

This was a super enjoyable listen -- LaCour really hit a balance in their writing that I find hard to express, but absolutely love. I appreciated the detail that was given to Emi's role in production design -- I found it really interesting! Definitely also loved the slow-burn of Emi and Ava's relationship, as it was obvious both of them had stuff to work through, so I'm really glad half the book wasn't made up of misunderstandings/miscommunication.

the toxic relationship in question is between the main character and her ex. This is not central to the story, and the main pairing is not toxic.
