I always enjoy Casey McQuiston's writing - they just write very good characters and interactions between them that are so compelling to read. At first I wasn't sure about this one, and Chloe's actions were very often frustrating, but it just ended up really catching my attention. And, god, McQuiston manages to write jalousy-inducing friendgroups perfectly - the friendgroups and the characters in them are a joy to read about!
Throughout most of the novel i kinda didn't want Chloe and Shara to get together - I thought most of the decisions Chloe made in more than half were frustrating and Shara wasn't really introduced until after halfways through. They did NOT seem good for each other, so I was curious if I would change my mind, and you know what? I didnt mind! I did end up really enjoying the relationship between this really intense and somewhat too much, queer girls.

2.5? This book really disappointed me. It was one of my most anticipated 2022 releases. I thought it was alright at the beginning but as the book continued, so many elements started to drag and it felt way too long. The last couple chapters redeemed the book for me a little but honestly I was really bored for a lot of it and that's just the truth.
