Cute, classic story, vaguely similar to West Side Story but set in the 90s. The “first love” that Angel and Hannah share feels familiar and sweet. There were some magical descriptions of the setting, but I also felt like everything about it was lacking in depth, so I found myself wanting more of pretty much every aspect. Idk something was missing.
