one character (Hannah) was raped and doesnt like drinking in public as doesnt trust she wont get raped again. the other main character (Garrett) looks after her drinks to make sure shes ok. she went to therapy afterwards, also sees someone who testified against her saying shed given consent.

I struggled a bit with some of the more toxic masculinity but I did really like the characters and the plot developments. There were just some lines that gave me the ick a bit. But it was a quick read and I enjoyed it!

I liked the plot of the book, it had a lot potential. It started slow and in the right way, but somewhere in the half, I would say, something flipped and it started to all happen so quick. 
For example (no spoilers (just random example) the main character Hannah would like a cat and next thing page she has one. What I liked in other books it that they also went kinda fast, but did tell how they got there instead of BAM done. This really made me just want to finish it as quick as possible so I could move on to the next book.
Also some characters were not talked alot about. Hannah's friends have names and that's what I know and remember of them. No good backstories or anything.

Even though I give al these negative points, I still completely read it. Mostly because it started to be less interesting in the middle, so I didn't want to stop cause then it would just be a waste of time. Would recommend for teens mostly and people searching for something fast to just shut their brain of.

I wasn’t expecting this book to be as good as it was, but I liked the plot and the mood of it. At first I didn’t really like Garrett but as the story continued, he became more loveable, especially when he starts to call her “Wellsey“. Overall the book was fun and easy to read, even though there were darker topics that the characters talked about.
