This book's plot carries most of the rating. The plot was intriguing yet there were so many moments where I was like come on seriously no one would ever do that. The mystery aspect was very prevalent in this book along with the romance plot, I love the way that both genres were mixed together. The writing was okay, good for YA but not phenomenal. The plot keeps you wanting to know more especially towards the end. It starts off hazy in terms of understanding character relationships but as you keep reading it gets more and more interesting because the relationships are well shown and not confusing. The LGBTQIA rep is amazing in this book, specifically bi and lesbian, even if the book shows the horrible side like conversion therapy there is still representation of how family acceptance and a supporting environment is so important. There are so many good things about this book yet so many downfalls that is why is lands in the 3/5 stars category.

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.
