I’m not sure. I think maybe it just was not what I expected. To be fair I didn't read any synopsis, I just saw Emily Henry and thought “this should be funny and light and fun” and from the get-go it wasn’t.

I absolutely loved this work! It’s always wonderful to see such a cohesive writing style between two authors that flows in just the right way.

Fun!!! I love some girl power homoerotic friendship. It was kind of oddly paced. A good story but definitely nothing gets resolved I found myself wondering where the other half of the book is.

Despite the incredible trauma these 17 and 18-year old girls have been through, this was a fun ride. You have to suspend reality obviously, because the situations they’re in are dangerous and likely would *not* have turned out the way they did. I mean, they

kill a well known and dangerous drug lord and hold a gun to Stormy’s head

and then still get to run off into the sunset. It’s a messy story that’s somehow so clean. My big complaint is that I do feel like we focused a lot more on Winona here and I would’ve liked to explore Lucille’s current sitch as well. Winona wrapped everything up nicely enough in her life, but Lucille deserved to get back at her brother and she deserves to have her mom at least acknowledge (or not!) her leaving. I get maybe the reality is that Lucille will never know, but because we got

both of Winona’s parents’ setups

, I would’ve liked Lucille’s too.

Usually not a fan of dark or tense stories, but this one found just the right balance of adding in some levity right when it’s needed. The ending left me wanting one or two more chapters as it wrapped up quite suddenly. Overall it was an exciting read that pushed me out of my comfort zone!
