This book was presented as a must read if you like Kasie West (my favorite author, read all her books) and enjoy Jenny Han (love her series). I was excited to read it and so very disappointed. The first few chapters were interesting, then it was slow and boring. They cover the characters in elementary, then cover each grade 8-12. The main character just complains and the couples loves all feel false. The end of the book is interesting but the ending feels forced. I don’t recommend.
