Meh. Very underwhelming. The characters’ voices were very similar and led to confusion as to whose pov I was reading. Found myself rolling my eyes at what the characters said and did. Romantic story lines felt like they came out of left field and did not even occur until the last 1/4 of the book.

I have a lot of issues with this book.
The author tried to tackle too many important issues but did not handle them well: suicide, sexuality, racism, sexual assault. Speaking of the SA that was barely addressed and moved on.
The relationships felt forced and did not make sense to me.
I think the concept of this book was problematic in general.
I have enjoyed this author in the past but this book was a miss for me.
