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 is a book I could have used at the end of my senior year of high school, and I’m so glad it is out in the world now. The only reason it doesn’t get a full five stars is because the middle act of the story lost my attention, and I did struggle to get though a few chapters. However, the last act gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Wow, I inhaled this book. I needed to know the answer just as much as Chloe (and I’m so pumped I figured stuff out before it was revealed). I started off not liking most of the characters, but they really grew on me as their complex stories unfolded. Because McQuiston really did write a ton of complex, incredibly human characters. I really loved it.
