I almost dnf’d this and I’m really glad I didn’t. At first I wasn’t vibing with the writing style and maybe just wasn’t in the mood to read in a teen’s perspective. But at about 15% it picked up and I really enjoyed it. She really nails down what it’s like to have a crush as a teen and reading into all the little moments. Such different writing from her adult stuff (I hated the other book I read from her) but this simple writing was really well done. Super cute!
