a very good book, i loved the lisbon girls. this book did a good job describing the male gaze. i hated the boy narrators. 
had so much hope 4 trip :( also the way the boys failed repeatedly to ask about the girls mental health or try and actually help them is disgusting.  they only viewed the girls as sexual fantasies and not real people. no women got input throughout the whole story. good representation of the male gaze.
no poc main characters tho
