Casey McQuiston is just AMAZING with characters. I feel like every single one of their characters is such a fleshed out person with an interesting personality. Even the side characters that are not really important for the story (like Brooklyn or Summer).
I don't think I can properly get my feelings for this book in a sentence so I'm just going to say I loved it, I never wanted to put it down and I want to reread it like right now. Also I knew after the first few pages that this would be an absolute delight to read. Casey's books just always make me so happy. :)

The beginning reminded me a lot of Paper Towns, aka my favorite book from my high school years and still my top pick by John Green. In fact, there's even a moment during the story where they say something along the lines of, "this isn't a John Green novel," and it made me burst out laughing because that's precisely what it felt like.
However, as time went on, the story shifted away from mystery and intrigue to a very typical high school contemporary. It had drama, hormones, and angst and while all of that is fine and dandy, it didn't feel unique at all. I completely lost interest in the second half of the book and truthfully, remember very little of how it even ended.
I wanted so much more from this one but it wound up being a bummer.
