My favorite narrator performs this book, yet not even Natalie Naudus could redeem this.
-I liked Lilah, she had a decently written femme baby-gay experience. Typical though.
-Noa was awful and seems to have never grown past her "I hate everything girly and pink" phase. She has character development but it's weak and at the very end when I have been pissed off at her this whole time. She acknowledges at several points that she's stuck up but doesn't change until she's humiliated.
-Just not much chemistry between the two leads. I strongly considered DNFing this since I knew it would rank low before the 50% mark.
-This is subjectively a one star for being more boring than my biology class, but objectively two stars.
-Almost forgot to include this part: typical Hollywood-men-being-weird-and-creepy/Hollywood-women-suffering. There wasn't anything wrong with it. It was technically an accurate portrayal, but much like the rest of this book, I did not feel anything. You can just read something that's been done better.
