GUYS? This was one of the best contemporaries I've ever read. There is just so much to say about this book and I know I will not be able to tackle all of it.
First, the anxiety rep was just fantastic. Eliza's mannerisms and inner monologue felt just so realistic. It wasn't incredibly dramatized the way many books end up coming across like. I was such a big fan!
The romance was just so cute! Up until the end, they were just this perfect little high school nerd couple and I was just so happy for them.
I absolutely loved the friendship between Eliza, Max, and Emmy. The sections of the book that were their private chats were some of my favorite parts just because their interactions were spectacular and just so funny.
Overall, fantastic book I can't believe it took me so long to read this.
