Pretty solid YA HS romance. ML was lonely/broody and blunt (swore a lot lol). I really appreciated that it WASN’T “bad boy helps good girl loosen up”, more like, “good girl naturally becomes unhinged and drags bad boy along for the ride”. It was a fun dynamic, and I liked all the characters. The book’s greatest flaw was not being as good as Painter’s other book, ‘Better Than the Movies’
