1.0

Having read so many great books this year, this is just disappointing. Is anyone tired of the “I am an average girl with blond hair and pale skin. But no one likes me.” Because I am.

I think the major problem is like I don’t really care for all the drama. Like if the application is projecting so much hate into your life, just delete that thing! If this is a YA romance novel, and I don’t like the romance, why bother? Alex (the love interest) honestly deserves better

(being talented at football, patient and family loving with no toxic traits is like a great package)

when the MC is just boring. Even the reason for rejection

(Alex attending his sister’s quinceañera)

is because the main character is so petty and rash. The friendship is also one of the worst I have ever seen. 

It touched on major topics like body shaming and social media. But by touching on, I mean like removing your hands immediately after touching a hot stove. Everything serious was solved in a few paragraphs of dialogue (not even good ones).
