ok but the reference to last night at the telegraph club made me sooo happy 😭 i’m so glad lily and kath got their happy ending :,) my main criticism about this book is the fact that steph was cheating on her girlfriend and aria knew… guys what happened to morals!!! i feel so bad for lisa especially at the end when she finds out. i also didn’t particularly love steph or even aria tbh, maybe that’s just me but they felt a bit flat at times. however i really liked mel and tasha even tho they weren’t in it much but tasha was so cute and sweet, im so glad her and aria stayed friends <3 also why did joan have to die like wtf 😭 i didn’t expect that at all and the bit where analemma got sad made me so upset. also despite the bits i didn’t like i kept wanting to read this book and couldn’t really put it down. must be something about sapphic books idk
