This was a very enjoyable read, with a surprisingly emotional core. I grew attached to the main characters in a way I hadn't expected given their apparent silliness at the beginning. 
The ending felt like it wrapped up just a bit too quickly and neatly, especially
Cassy and Chip's relationship.

I do wish the queer representation had been handled a bit differently,
the incorrect assumption that Archie was gay and the surprise reveal that Callum was gay felt a bit tokenistic rather than allowing sexuality to just be part of a well rounded character.
