I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely the sort of book that can remind you how intense emotions are when you are 17. 

I started crying when Park’s dad let him go, and I didn’t stop until the last page.

The love story wasn't doing it for me. The way they got together rubbed me a little uncomfortably because he was literally a bystander to her getting harassed by his friends. Then they'd both having rude thoughts about each other. One that stuck out to me was how she kept calling him "stupid Asian kid". Like what does him being Asian have to do with anything. Also the representation in this book towards Asians wasn't it. I specifically remember a scene where he was expressing his concerns and his struggles of being half Asian and half white and being disconnected towards one from the other and kind of being white washed due to his predominantly white environment. And she just kind of dismissed his struggles. That didn't sit right with me at all. Overall I just found their romance pretty immature (but they were teens in love so I kinda dismissed that).

It felt implicitly racist and fat phobic… the storyline was a good idea if it had it be executed better
