Really liked learning more abt Chinese culture!
I didn’t like most of Theo’s family, especially his father.
When they broke up, I was genuinely sad, which doesn’t happen often to me. But I got mad at the fact that Theo clearly ignore Dylan’s concerns and helped him during the contest! Sure, it was the big romantic gesture of the story, but then the author had to make something up so that Mr. Somers would change his mind in order to create a happy ending.
