3.5

The writing and pacing of the book were not my favourite and the characters felt kind of flat and often only did tjings for the sake of plot movemen  (hence the 3 stars). Also, this books was pretty much just 400 pages of miscommunication, and that was quite annoying as one of my least favourite tropes. However, i really loved the discussions of gender and the queer rep was incredible. As annoying as i sometimes fpund Carey, they were also really relatable at times and really inspiring in their confidence and ability to stabd up for themself. I also loved the musical aspects of the book, even though i thought that Careys lyrics were kind of awful
