This is a good romance young adult book... if you read it you'll see the young adult part pretty clearly as it is about kids in high school. It would have got a better rating, but the ending crushed me, even though I knew it was coming... don't read if you don't like a sad ending.

I liked the perspective of the FMC in this book. I believe having the backstory was a good start to where it ended. I wish she wouldn't have been so set on staying clear of her "best friend". I was so upset with the ending. I can't wait to read what happens next. I definitely need more after the way the book ended.

This book was so good in the sense that it makes “the weird girls” relate to their high school days. The fantasy of loving your best friend and them admitting they love you back is a warm feeling this book gives. I will say, the part about Jamie cheating on Autumn with Sasha and dumping Autumn for her was pretty predictable but it didn’t take away from the book.

The ending felt slightly rushed but altogether, it sufficiently broke my heart. Which is what I was looking for.
