too many song and pop culture references. i am 22 yet i felt 35 reading this. i dont like aging.

edit: okay i reread parts of the book. i bumped the book up by a lot HAHAH. i dont know what i was going through when i first read it, i think i just wasn't used to reading YA again cause it was a while at the time, but i've read a few more since then. and its just so cute. im not a fan of the references and i do think that it drags the book down heavily. but i really do appreciate how sweet it was. and that final confession after prom and that whole thing was just so sweet. my tummy did in fact tumble.

this is lowkey my ideal romance book. plenty of gen z references and really nice song references without being too awkward. really liked the character development because it was really starting to get on my nerves. 

i took off a .25 because with a name like wes i can’t really picture a hot guy

overall a good story and i actually felt really touched by the mom bit. i wish her dads character was a bit more developed though. the romance was great and i loved the banter. favorite trope of all time is the pining after for years, then enemies to lovers then friends to lovers. this has got to be at least two of those three tropes. the writing was not too wordy and easy to digest and i enjoyed the high school feel of it. like the characters were realistically high school, yk? 

overall i definitely liked it. great beach read
