i think the idea of this book is so fun and cute, but while reading it i felt like the author may have been limited by the constraints of the YA genre. the relationship between jasper and charlie felt weirdly strained at times and not natural, but they are also high schoolers and had charmingly high school problems. i really liked the side characters! i think this author has a talent for writing distinct side characters, which is rare. i also liked the depiction of stress over grades, which i found quite relatable (even if i didn’t go to a fancy private high school lol)
