I’m honestly kinda disappointed that I didn’t like this. I just couldn’t get into it.
It was way too quick paced to the point I just didn’t care about anything that happened. The dialogue was stiff and just overall felt like it was for a much younger audience rather than a YA book.
The friendships and side characters just kinda fell flat. Especially when the plot twist happened in chapters 24/25. I just honestly didn’t care at that point what happened. Even the ending seem so rushed and I don’t understand why.
I will say the plus sized rep was nice along with some of the queer rep but that was about it for me.
