This was good but kinda boring. I think that the teacher was a weird character
besides the whole pervert thing he just acted out of character some
and it bothered me that the people she met who had also been offended had been offended by the same guy. It was kinda weird that she managed to unintentionally surround herself with those people.

I feel like I need to think on this more before giving it a rating. It tackled a lot of big issues but only on a surface level

TW: unwanted attention from adults.

As a bisexual goth whose stomping ground was the mall arcade in high school, I went into this only knowing the title, thinking it'd be super relatable. And it was, sort of, and then it got deep. .

This book was very nostalgic for me and it really captured the early days of instant messaging and online chatting.

I enjoyed the story of Liv, who is trying to deal with moving to a new place, a new school, her parents marriage breaking down, bisexual panic and a creepy as fuck English teacher.

My only real issue with the book is that it feels unfinished.  While the ending is fine, it feels abrubt and leaves a lot of the storylines unresolved and I absolutely hate that.

Super quick, fun read, I just wish there had been more to the conclusion. There was a lot of build up and the ending felt abrupt and unsatisfying because we never got to see the results of the characters’ decisions
