OMG I LOVE THEM, THEY'RE SO CUTE I CANNOT AHHHHH! I really loved this book, I really enjoyed seeing the characters grow and seeing them get closer together dksnxksbdbd. I liked seeing their competitiveness and watching being in Alice's head as she is thinking of things. I like that they are there for each other and she's kind of oblivious to him :) I love Henry for being so sweet and gentlemanly towards Alice and for helping her out :( I like how Alice is smarter than him and thought of a way out at the end, I really like Alice's character and her family dynamics, it's makes them seem very real. The teachers are quite fleshed out too, and it makes the setting really feel like a classroom and they're in a school. I really loved Chanel in here and I like how supportive she is, seeing how Chanel and Alice got closer and closer together :D. I really like the Author's writing style, and all the little details and hints she outs in, really helped me visualise what is happening :)) I really liked learning about Alice's life in her international school and the different experiences she had. I am looking forward to read the rest of her backlist hehe!

A beautifully written book, that tackles some heavy themes in a tactful, powerful way. Awkwardly accurate teenagers, with the side trope of romance.  Only gets points off due to the practical nature of the magic realism however a great, easy read otherwise.
