I first read this book when I was a teenager and I was obsessed with Jesse and Suze. Last week, I saw the audiobook available to listen to for free, so I decided to see if I still loved it as an adult. Despite the positive nostalgic feels, I thought the first part of the book was simply okay. I'd forgotten how overly descriptive the author's writing style could be when world building. However, the pace ramped up at about 60% of the way through when the action started, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I still loved Jesse and Suze. There wasn't enough Jesse in this book but I liked Suze. However, I hadn't before realised how much she focused on other people's designer clothes, and she was obsessed with boys. The side characters were interesting, but only Doc particularly stood out. I never re-read but this series has got me, and the books are small and easy to digest, so I will continue!
