This was a fun light-hearted read that put me in the mood for summer reading! Honestly kind of a predictable plot but I kept reading because of how loveable the characters were and my investment in how it turned out. Not a fan of how it ended, but again, fun, quick, easy. Plus yay for queer representation in literature- and this has a lot!

This book was interesting and so hopeful. It’s small town America and the most popular girl in school has disappeared. Her boyfriend, nemesis, and next door neighbor are all trying to find her. She’s leaving them clues. In the unveiling of the clues we learn a lot more about the people searching for her. Then finally, we learn the truth about the popular girl. I really loved this plot. I loved the side stories within the main story. I loved the characters so much I wanted them to be real so I could be their friends.  It’s definitely worth a read.

i kissed shara wheeler by casey macquisten is a book unlike any other i have ever read. it is surreal to read a wlw academic enemies to lovers- but i'm so glad this book exists. 

this book has everything it should have in it with a clever mysterious plot and messy characters. I LOVED IT.
