Had to sit on this one for a bit before reviewing. My first thought after finishing it was just "is that it?" so I wasn't really even sure if I'd like it or not. The ending hardly felt like resolution. I wasn't particularly invested in any of the love interests. Belly was a bit of a one note character, she likes boys and also hates being left out, overall pretty flat. The most intriguing part of the book was the friendship the moms had in the background. There's better romances to read, even so better romance books by Jenny Han specifically. I wouldn't pick this one
