I keep reading these books because I loved The Deal, but these just keep getting worse. The writing was repetitive, the plot was repetitive, the language was cringy, the characters (especially summer) were not developed.
The misogyny is gross. While I think Kennedy thinks she’s trying to push feminism and deal with patriarchy and rape culture, every aspect of the book oozes internalized misogyny. Everything from character development to word choice to plot points is written from the male gaze, which is crazy considering this is a book written by a woman marketed to other women. It also relies so much on gendered language for no reason. The attempts at diversity are also gross and play into stereotypes.
The ending was trash. Absolute and complete trash. And the entire book was boring.

Summer is such a real character and you can see her grow and struggle. She is so lovable and honest about herself.
I'm contrast you can see fitsy, who is so much more reserved and they just click. This is a story of a girl chasing a guy and I don't think anyone can read this without smiling like an idiot the entire time.
