No Judgments by Meg Cabot

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.
I will preface by saying I love Meg Cabot. I grew up with The Mediator and Princess Diaries series. I love the Heather Wells and Insatiable serieses. I had no expectations beyond a fun, fluffy, romance. No Judgements is not, in my opinion, a good read even for silly fun. As many of the other reviews pointed out, the romance feels like a half-baked “enemies-to-lovers” attempt that never actually fills the expectations of the trope. The tone is a weird mix of fun and hurricane preparedness lectures that no one follows anyway and the setting despite being in the present feels like it throws you back to 2003 by the way everyone around the main character reacts to (spoiler kind of but not really) her experience with sexual assault. It felt like every part of that storyline was a shallow representation of a really deep issue that constantly got trivialized by everyone in an outdated way, including the main character at times, in a way that feels really painfully tone deaf. Sad to say I couldn't finish and really cannot suggest.
