I don’t often rate books half stars, but this book doesn’t deserve 3 stars or 4 stars in my book, so I chose the in between. I liked it, but definitely not as much as I expected to. I enjoyed Red, White and Royal Blue more, for sure. however, I did still like quite a few elements of this book. I liked August and how she grows throughout the book, from being really in the background, I suppose, to being someone unafraid to attract attention. I liked Jane and how much of a fighter she is, but also how she’s actually a cinnamon roll. I loved the side characters, they added a lot to the story. but most of all, I loved the setting. I’ve never personally been to New York, but I definitely hope to someday, and this book only set that further in stone. I loved the atmosphere of this book, how queer it was, how wacky it could be at times. so, sure, did it let me down slightly and not shock me as much as I expected? yes. was the end a bit abrupt and blunt, in my opinion? yes. did bookstagram hype it up far too much? yes. but I still enjoyed it, despite taking two weeks to read it, and once I got into it, I stopped looking at how long the chapters were. that doesn’t happen often for me, being someone who likes short chapters lol
