The book itself is an easy read but is problematic. The main character Evelyn is a nice quiet book loving white girl, whilst her love interest Noelle is a trouble making, rowdy, basketball loving, aggressive and mean black girl. You see the difference??
Noelle is probably the only poc in this book and 'coincidentally' is also the only one described as mean and aggressive. everyone else in this book, even her best friend, are all nice white kids.
maybe it is coincidental but this book is problematic and has multiple micro aggressions written into it.

This book is amazing I loved all the character and the plot and i loved the romance and relationships between each character. when I started reading this book I hadn't realised the mystery and thrill that would happen in the last couple chapters it was a surprise but a good one

Not the best book I’ve read but it was super sweet! It could have done with more character development, but it’s not bad for a wattpad story. A really cute queer book

This book had a lot of racial stereotypes such as the mean black girl and the only black girl in school and so on. And even if you could try ignore that, the book was just boring. I wasn’t invested in the romance and I got to about halfway and literally nothing had happened, I get it’s a romance book so the plot is the romance but it just had nothing going on. I pretty much skimmed the ending because I didn’t want to have to read it.

that I found this book in a pile on a sidewalk was cosmic foreshadowing of how reading it would go.
this made me feel icky with its representation of noelle, one of two Black characters, and use of stereotypes in its depiction of a pansexual character. I’m only hesitant to slam it because I know the author was fifteen or sixteen when she started writing it and also from germany. the german part is largely irrelevant except to say that I understand that the experience of Black americans likely hugely differs from anything she’s witnessed there. I do think it’s an earnestly queer novel and I understand the feelings that were communicated through it. the panic you feel when you begin to know yourself and discover your queerness is terrifying at times. like many romance books, it is what it says it is.
my harry potter fanfiction was better though
