It's been 3 years now since I've been a teen so I don't know what teens like anymore but this story came off really kiddish; except for when they talked about more adult things, then it felt weird and out of place. I remember talking about sex and kink and stuff before I was even in high school, but the rest of the tone of the book made me feel this story was written for kids around ages 9 to 13. It was in the teen section of my library, so that makes sense, but this book feels very pre-teen and not young adult.
Too many pop culture references. I had to google when Agents of Shield went off the air, which was surprisingly in 2020?! So that was interesting. Also referenced Glee twice. I should remove a star for that... I won't! But I should!!! Now, Riverdale on the other hand...
