i picked up this book at a thrift store a couple of years ago because it was the first lesbian book i’d ever seen at a thrift store. i was intrigued by the back cover but the plot ended up a lot different than i thought.
i liked the way they showed how good at scamming tray was.
i needed a quick read to get out of a reading slump and i finished it so maybe it worked? i feel like the jan and cole relationship ended weird,
they shouldn’t have gotten back together.
but!!  jackson and coles friendship was really fucking sweet! best part of the book honestly. i’ll probably donate this book tho ngl lol
