I thought this would be okay but predictable, like obviously the message boils down to be yourself and don't worry too much about social media, but there's a lot more really good stuff going on. I really loved all the characters so much! They're funny, they're flawed teenagers but not totally unlikeable, they have unique interests and varying levels of caring about them, they feel like real people. And the ending wasn't even what I expected, and mature for a YA romance. The MC does not get off easy, nor should she, really. Of course she makes mistakes when trying to fix things, as all teenagers do, but I still felt like she was relatable (for the most part, she is a bit too obsessed with her follower count sometimes). They address her failing and consequences well. Overall I really really liked it!
