Ashley Poston is always so creative. This isn’t my favorite of hers (I think I prefer the Seven Year Slip), but this was still so refreshing. I predicted the ending from miles away and I’m glad it came true because if it didn’t I would be upset. Benji is dreamy, I like a good book villain (Lee), the death discussion was illuminating at some points but too much at other points, and some of the way the author painted Florence was a little too cringe. But still cute and I liked how there were some gay characters!
