The audiobook was great at capturing that teen voice without feeling weird.  Would recommend consuming that way.

This book was good! It felt appropriate given the descriptions and genre. Sometimes the romance scenes feel too mature for the characters ages and that always gives me an ick factor.

I felt invested in my characters and look forward to checking in on them and their lives in future books. Excited about this series!!

If drowning triggers you, FYI there’s a scene that kind of freaked me out.

The main character just wasn't doing it for me. Very juvenile writing that I would have wanted at least some maturity from the characters by the end of the book. Not terrible, just not gripping.
