Seeing this book on booktok only a handful of times, I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The storytelling is amazing and each character had their own mini backstory which we get to hear about. 389 pages that are worth a read, with political outlets and real life struggles in teenagers are explored.

This book was so good.  The humor was everything and the romance was really cute.  While there were heavy, realistic, moments some of the characters had to deal with, this book was lighthearted and really enjoyable to read.  Definitely going to re-read this!!
