“To the Black girls in the back row at live shows, to the queer girls still trying to figure it out, to the Midwestern kids who have yet to find a home in their bodies—it’s time to press play on our happy endings.”

I loved "You Should See Me in a Crown" so much, but this one just didn't measure up for me. My biggest issue was that I just didn't like Olivia, even in the end. She was so selfish and oblivious, it was hard to enjoy anything involving her.
I liked what the book was trying to say about being true to yourself and not closing yourself off to people, but I just couldn't fully get into it.

This is a really solid ya romance so far, I’m just not getting into it

I wanted to love this one... I really did. But unfortunately I did not. Olivia was a whiny self-centered brat. And while she redeems herself at the end, it was all too quick. And speaking of quick, I have a hard time with romances that are love at first sight. This book takes place over a weekend. In two days, we go from 2 strangers to love of my life. Maybe the problem isn't with the book but with me. I'm not the target audience (YA / New Adult).
