If Kasey McQuiston has a million fans, I’m one of them. If she has one fan, it’s me. If she has zero fans, I’M DEAD.
Found all the characters super lovable despite their flaws. Thought Chloe was just SUCH a teenager but in a very relatable and admirable way. There book has a good balance of like accepting yourself and being open to growth and recognizing everyone’s coming out and coming of age stories are very different. Just a really fun silly time with like a genuinely interesting mini mystery throughout.
