i'm not sure what to say about this book. the rising action started out really good but i think there were too many conflicts to make it flow easily. i understand it's supposed to represent the chaos of senior year, and i understand the internal conflicts that come with the fake-dating trope, but some of the conflicts were unnecessary to the plot and ruined the ending tbh. especially the sub-plot of the teacher. if the book included questions of self-integrity and self-belonging and without the random conflicts that messed up the storyline, it would have been a lot better imo.
