Loved the book in general but Shara just seemed toxic and her character changed a bit too quickly on the last few pagespaperbackparker's review against another edition

Casey McQuiston is just AMAZING with characters. I feel like every single one of their characters is such a fleshed out person with an interesting personality. Even the side characters that are not really important for the story (like Brooklyn or Summer).
I don't think I can properly get my feelings for this book in a sentence so I'm just going to say I loved it, I never wanted to put it down and I want to reread it like right now. Also I knew after the first few pages that this would be an absolute delight to read. Casey's books just always make me so happy. :)

this book hit way too close to home. i don’t know what more to say.
probably rtc
so coming back to this book, it’s probably not 5 stars. there’s many things that weren’t perfect, and the main romance didn’t live up to my increasingly high standards. with that said, the emotions i felt during this are unmatched. i feel guilty after the rollercoaster that just happened not giving 5 stars.
i’m going 4.75 stars for now, because this isn’t the best book ever, but it could be my favorite book ever.
update like 2 weeks later: this book is aging like fine wine for me. the more i think about it, the more i realize how good it really was. if you ask me what my favorite book is, there’s a good chance i’ll say this one right here.
pre-read: ya? check. sapphic? check. academic rivals to lovers? check. christian school homophobia that i know is going to hit me right in the heart? check. CASEY MCFREAKINQUINSTON? CHECK!
GIVE IT TO ME PLEASE
