It's hard to rate this book when I know the problem is that I'm not a teenager. It's well written and I enjoyed the concept but I found the characters hard to read at times. They are very in character for teenagers but from an adult perspective, I found it grating at times. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good childhood friends to rivals to lovers. Just be aware that there is some very teenage decision making.
