The things that took me out of it were small but significant. The writing is really repetitive, and there are entire paragraphs of internal monologues that I felt like I'd read 10x before. Also, how are all of these teens completely covered in tattoos? One or two, I'd understand, but all 6 of them? I also really don't like when fad slang is used because it sounds so dated (for example, more than once, Bernie says her makeup is "on point). Also, I don't remember if it was in this book (I've read all 5 now) but I HATED the Covid references. They were so weird and unnecessary.

I loathe reading sex scenes involving minors. I mostly can mostly forget that these characters are in high school (17 years old) while reading because of their circumstances and how they act but still… ick.
