This is my first Casey 
McQuiston book. I love the Acknowledgements and Foreward. 

“I’m writing this book to show you that you’re not alone. Also that you deserve ridiculous, over the top high school rom coms about teenagers like you, just like the straight kids have!” 

That’s exactly what this book was. A ridiculous,  over the top Looking for Alaska/Paper Towns type rom com with flawed high schoolers whose brains haven’t fully developed yet.

I liked the cast of characters that we got. I liked the fun little scavenger hunt where we get to see the Rory, Smith, and Chloe come together. I also loved that part of the setting was a family owned bookstore. 

When you’re in high school, it really does feel like that’s your whole world. 

Chloe is uptight and a bit mean. She’s not the greatest friend at some points. She’s flawed and honestly a little relatable. Rory and Smith were interesting characters as well, and it was nice to see their development. I liked that Chloe just casually picked up on the fact that Rory was dyslexic and no one infantilizes him or treats him differently about it. 

Georgia makes a good point, that not everyone can leave their (small minded) hometown. Some people have to stay, or it will never get better.
