The first maybe 15% of this I really hate it and I thought of DNFing it because I just could not stand the characters and I was like what is even the point of the story. But as it went on I really got to like the characters more and I was intrigued and I also liked the representation and what that character went through. It’s not that thrilling or anything so don’t go into it expecting that but it is a good time and there’s some good discussion.

Have a couple thoughts about this. 

• Reveal was mostly cool and largely unexpected, although some parts of it felt very unexplained and convenient. 
• Went into this thinking it was a sapphic romance, but whilst there is a w/w romance and one of the main characters is a lesbian, the two main characters do not get together, which I don’t know why I went into the book with that expectation but nonetheless was disappointed. 
• Wish there was more friendship exhibited, with comparisons to PLL I was expecting Amanda and Rosalie to become like a wonder team, when for most of the book they didn’t even see each other in person which was disappointing. 
• Rosalie is the real MVP.

Basically two people getting anonymous messages which is affecting their life. One girl is basically a popular one who was "forced"(?) Into a relationship with a guy who she knows he cheating on, and the girl the guy she is cheating with.

 <spoilers> idk if this is the spoiler but she is only using him so her family won't sent her back to "conversion therapy </spoilers>

There are LGBTQ+ characters

Also, Paulina and Rosaline, you dropped this 👑
