 The romance was cute, the LI was very wholesome, and I liked some bits about biphobia. I appreciate the book for being a quick and engaging read. However, there were just too many pop culture references (now I know that people ship Gigi and Kendall) and hashtags, and it was too liberal American for my tastes (I'm still not ever Cece's bedroom description). I also think that the writing was at some points out of touch with #theyouth.

For right now: I'm crying happy tears again. Going to paste one of my very favorite quotes from the book here, because honestly it sums up my feelings towards the book pretty well: "I hope you like it, but it’s okay if you don’t. Because I LOVE IT."
