I just finished this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While this book is certainly filled with clichés, for the most part I enjoyed it because it played into the main character's (Luna and Will's) story arch's. Though, at times the dialogue got a bit too juvenile for my liking. But nonetheless I think the cliché factor all throughout this book played into it's favor. The lead character's didn't feel one dimensional and their personalities felt thoroughly explored.

The build up of their relationship felt organic and had multiple ups and downs which I appreciated. These are two seemingly very different characters so it makes sense that theirs a push and pull dynamic. Both characters uplift each other in ways that they needed and help them look at life and themselves in different ways. I could feel the chemistry between the characters and couldn't help but root for them.

Something I would have liked though is if Will's story arc about his fears about becoming like his father was more directly addressed. throughout the book it's talked about as a semi-constant underlining fear he has and is why he has a hard time getting closer to others. But by the end of the book it's only briefly touched upon.

Another thing I didn't like was the whiplash of Marty's character. He went from thinking he knew better and wanting to control everything about Luna, to immediately understanding her and her relationship with Will. There was no indication that he was having any type of conflict about how he and Luna's mother was treating her. But he see's her have a panic attack and just has a complete change of heart? He's seen her spiral and struggle in similar ways but only now is when he takes it to heart. He also became a complete cartoon of a character after he had quit. When he found and flew Will out back to LA, his dialogue towards will and Jamie, just all of it. He became a "comedic" tool to push the plot forward and just felt completely out of place. It just took me out of the scene any time he would try to be funny and quirky. The climax of the book was undermined a little because of how ridiculous Marty's character was being.

Overall though while I do feel like the climax would have been a better experience with a better set up with Marty, I still enjoyed the ending scene with Luna and Will on stage, and most of the epilogue.

these are usually really fun books with some cute romances but i just did not love this one. we barely got to see them together and they were broken up for too long at the end and why was the prologue 11 months in the future like you can’t tell me this shit happened in 11 months. idk so much of this was miscommunication and the characters were very dumb and half the time i didn’t even know what they wanted. idk i feel like there was potential but this was not very fun.
as i read: i’m so pissed at her entire family and like i just want to punch them all. okay but like you know your mom and marty are the worst and only care about themselves and yet you believe them over will? ughhhh! this better not last too long or i’ll be so annoyed. his fear of saying i love you doesn’t make any sense because it hasn’t been brought up like wth. okay i get will being upset but like he knows how toxic her environment is like bro fight for her. so this was eleven months??? wtf?
