Was highly anticipating this book and I'm so glad I got a chance to read it! My one note is that despite the protagonist's bias toward the love interest, I wish we could have seen more likability from them earlier on. When the protagonist started having feelings for the love interest, I found myself struggling to root for them at first because the love interest had been painted simply as an annoying snob for the first two thirds of the book. It didn't help that as readers our understanding of their relationship is very vague. However, I felt that overall these characters were well-established and they had solid dynamics with one another.

This was the cutest story! Regret not blocking out the time to consume it faster. Found myself giggling and kicking my feet throughout.

Really captures the feeling of boarding school and the drama that comes from handling friendships/relationships alongside high academic pressure!

Probably more accurate to say I heavily skimmed the whole thing
It took me a really long time to get into this book. At first I found Charlie to be really annoying and whiny and Jasper seemed obnoxious and arrogant. Then I felt guilty for disliking Charlie because everything he was going through was legitimately stressful and I felt like I was being too mean to someone who had so many legitimate difficulties. Once the problem with the letters came up though and the group from strip worked together and Charlie began to “melt” toward some of his classmates some, the book became much more enjoyable.
