Idek what to say but I loved it so much. It portrayed well how (some) teenagers go through school life nowadays and I loved how Tori is portrayed as an ‘unlovable pessimistic character who ended up with someone who - from the outside - seems like the exact opposite. And they end up being the one thing they both need. It’s really well-written and I loved it.
