Minor spoilers on character description. I loved this book. I would do anything to be able to read this again without knowing how it ends. I loved the flashbacks to when Liz was a kid and her mom was alive. It was predictable but very well written. It wasn’t super predictable when reading but at the start you could kind of predict how the plot goes but there is a little plot twist. The minor plot twist throws you off completely. I really enjoyed the book itself. The main character was likable, relatable and made some mistakes which makes her more relatable and characters like Wes, Michael, Joss her stepmom and dad even Alex are relatable also. I feel like no one was perfect like they have in other books where the main character does no wrong or a lot wrong Liz is the perfect in between. The cover is a little confusing, I was thinking it would relate more to the story but still cute. I can’t wait to read the sequel. Liz, Wes, Michael, Laney, Alex, and Joss were exactly as you would picture them Liz, Wes and Michael being the typical love triangle. And Laney and Alex, in the middle of the drama without knowing. Joss the best friend who gets in fights with Liz and pushes her. It was really a typical book but it was a very good read.

Such a cute story! I love the relationship building and the inclusion of both music and movie references. It felt like a multi sensory experience to read and hear the soundtrack playing in my head.
