gabi_w21's review against another edition

Luce is one of the dumbest MCs I've ever read. She acknowledges that Cam is sweet and so nice to her yet she obsesses over the boy who flipped her off? She's creepy when it comes to him—looking at his record and searching up his family name—but she doesn't even try to stay away or ignore him, regardless of how he treats her (aka like shit.) And the amount of hate she has for Gabbe for no reason—is it because she's a pretty blonde? Because she incorrectly thought Gabbe was Daniel's girlfriend? It was like Kate took all the bad traits of Bella Swan and amplified the stupid and obsessiveness. Molly, though, I can understand but her instant hatred for Luce didn't make any sense. And the amount of cryptic dialogue is ridiculous, especially from Molly. Also anyone else find it weird how the ONLY characters to get full-fledged descriptions are all white? That the only Black character gets “he has dreadlocks” as a descriptor?
