dsauriol1991's review against another edition
3.5
Told through a dual THEN & NOW timeline I really enjoyed getting to watch Larissa & Jasmine's relationship evolve in this book. I think this was a great look at how you can fall for someone unexpected and still not have a label for your sexuality as we do with Larissa. I think it's a super sweet book but I wish it was a little bit longer to pack more of an emotional punch.

3.5/5
I'm gonna begin by saying I enter college, which is why I took so long to finish the book. I almost have no time to read anymore.
Now, to the review.
I was pretty pleased with it.
At first I was worried the endgame would be the man (like it happens on perfect on paper) and I had to look for spoilers to put myself at ease.
Though I wished through the book they would show us more about the queer relationship that the straight one.
Many people mentioned it was a bit weird how sudden Chase became obsessed with Larissa. It was, a bit, but they explained Larissa had this big change, so I can understand it.
At some point, I loved how Chase treated Larissa and they showed Jasmine as having no feeling for Larissa so I thought it would be okay for Chase to get the girl.
(I'm having my bi discovering too ajjej)
He did, though.
When Jasmine explained everything, it made things clear and I began rooting for her again. But, if we see Larissa perspective, Jasmine wasn't showing or doing anything to prove her feelings. Like I said before I even thought Jasmine had no feeling at all.
I think the author did a good job with that.
Honorific mention for Kiki, I like her, she's a good friend (side eye to Shannon.)
I just really wished there were more moments with Jasmine and Larissa but it seems sapphic books aren't build like that.
Overall, it was a quick, easy and entertaining read.
I would recommend it as to have something to enjoy reading.

The romance was so slow to me, the chapters would go through the past and present and I would get confused. It was a mess really that was hard to follow overall

Relatable, even if it is Grease-ified.
I received an ecopy of this via Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

Lara is back in school after her summer with Jasmine catching the eye of Chase after years of crushing. But now Jasmine attends Lara's school and Lara must come to terms with her feelings for Chase and Jasmine.
This is a quick read of bisexual representation. The process of seeing where the heart lies, coming to terms with sexuality, and feeling pulled in two directions. As I listened to this book I felt for Lara questioning what her summer was like and why Chase is finally taking an interest in Lara after so many years of not. Props for the bi rep.
