I found it hard to root for the main couple just because they were both kinda awful people, and I really didn’t like Chloe as the lead character (but that may be due to the audiobook).

But I really liked how McQuiston wrote the friendships and developed the characters.

Not too bad for a YA romance, and not too bad for my first Casey McQuiston novel.

This was a little dry but once I got into it I was swept into the mystery of Shara and those around her. I also thought Chloe was a bit self centered but I really loved her friends and her moms and I thought it was all really sweet. I also like that everyone got their happy ending (for now at least)

Hell yeah! Queer, Southern fun featuring a delightful cast of diverse characters, a nonstop plot, important struggles, and an adorable romance. What more can I say, except that I flew through — and had an absolute blast?

I absolutely loved this book! There were times I had no idea what was gonna happen next. If you’re a fan of Looking for Alaska, this is the book for you.

The book, which is about a bi girl, occurs at a Christian Academy in Alabama. So keep that in mind when reading. Coming from a femme queer person that grew up in Alabama, the stuff in the book is accurate but also not as bad as I have seen in real life. I didn’t see anything too triggering, but it was definitely in there.
