This book was really good representation wise. Seeing a main character with anxiety like Karina was really relatable to me because I’ve never read a book with a character who I’ve related to more in that sense. 

The plot was a little lacking and I found myself thinking “yeah ok sure…” at some points, but I think that’s how it is with most YA rom com style books. 

Overall, I probably wouldn’t recommend this book if you’re not a big fan of fluff, but it was definitely cute and felt refreshing as a lot of the characters faced problems I think most high schoolers face today.
