Loved the book in general but Shara just seemed toxic and her character changed a bit too quickly on the last few pages

I have enjoyed every book by Casey McQuiston so far. This one feels the youngest since the main characters are still in high school, and it's probably my least favorite of the three books I've read, but it's still one of my favorites for this type of story and genre. The characters are flawed, but in realistic ways, and it's fun to watch them grow and learn from their mistakes. Weirdly, I feel like the titular romance isn't really the focus of the book and maybe could have used more development.
