The story itself was super interesting, but I found that some of the parts fell flat.
The bi representation in this book was very good and I appreciated how Gonzales touched on biphobia in a way that happens a lot in the real world.
I also don’t think she faced enough of a consequence for the locker. Only four people asked for a refund? That just seems unbelievable to me.
Also… Broughham. I didn’t like him until maybe the last four or five chapters. The miscommunication between him and Darcy was driving me crazy. I also, somehow, felt like I still didn’t know the real him at the end of the story.
I wish Brooke had a bit more to her character, but I enjoyed her for when she was.
Oh, and this is nitpicking, but I hated all of the Disney references. Chad and Ryan ARE gay, but we don’t need Finn to bring it up at a Q&Q meeting. And the chapters with Disneyland were far too specific to be written by someone who wasn’t a Disney adult.
Ainsley was the best character in this story, and there were so many times where I was happy she was there to make me still want to read it.
Overall, I didn’t love it but I also didn’t loathe it. There were times I wanted to stop reading, but I’m not mad that I finished it. It was Okay.
