I ENJOYYYEDDDDDD this one! This book is about Lucy and Fletcher, (who don't know that they have been internet best friends) who end up working together at the same school and fall in love! The premise of a social media influencer who has it all together on the internet vs. the real life version of that person instantly sold me on this book! Lucy and Fletcher are sooooo likeable and fun. I recieved this book early as an eARC from NetGalley and I am so glad I got it!
As someone who experiences both depression and anxiety (at the same damn time), I identify heavily with Lucy and her experience of the world. I know intimately what it’s like to feel so unlovable AND be charming and charismatic on the internet as an influencer. I also thought that Fletcher's "baggage" with his family was so real and intricate that made the story that much better. Even when you can see the train wreck coming, sometimes you just can’t look away… and that's how I felt once we discovered Fletcher's and Lucy's secrets!
There's only one spicy scene, but it is done so well! I feel like this was a solidd, enjoyable read for me. 3.75 stars and going to round up to 4 stars! The plot made sense to me, and although in some parts predictable, there were other parts that caught me completely by surprise! There's beautiful diversity of characters both in ethnicity, socioeconomic status, life stage, and more.
