3.5/5
I'm gonna begin by saying I enter college, which is why I took so long to finish the book. I almost have no time to read anymore.
Now, to the review.
I was pretty pleased with it.
At first I was worried the endgame would be the man (like it happens on perfect on paper) and I had to look for spoilers to put myself at ease.
Though I wished through the book they would show us more about the queer relationship that the straight one.
Many people mentioned it was a bit weird how sudden Chase became obsessed with Larissa. It was, a bit, but they explained Larissa had this big change, so I can understand it.
At some point, I loved how Chase treated Larissa and they showed Jasmine as having no feeling for Larissa so I thought it would be okay for Chase to get the girl.
(I'm having my bi discovering too ajjej)
He did, though.
When Jasmine explained everything, it made things clear and I began rooting for her again. But, if we see Larissa perspective, Jasmine wasn't showing or doing anything to prove her feelings. Like I said before I even thought Jasmine had no feeling at all.
I think the author did a good job with that.
Honorific mention for Kiki, I like her, she's a good friend (side eye to Shannon.)
I just really wished there were more moments with Jasmine and Larissa but it seems sapphic books aren't build like that.
Overall, it was a quick, easy and entertaining read.
I would recommend it as to have something to enjoy reading.
