I loved this book so much but I have such a bad book hangover from this im struggling to make my points so…
- I loved the writing style, it was so well written and detailed and descriptive that you really just get sucked into the story and the characters
- I LOVED the gossip girl element of it, made it very stressful
The way the gossip girl thing turned into a massive generational organization (reminding me of the way/the company series by j a huss) was so smart and creative
 
- I really like how they talked about their queer identities 
- I seriously just couldn’t keep up I kept thinking I was catching on and then it would twist and get bigger and more intense

Seriously can’t recommend this book enough just please check trigger warnings since it does deal with sensitive issues
