I’m kind of bummed because at first I thought I would like this, but I just didn’t really.
I liked the ADHD representation and the way the author really showed and made you understand how living with ADHD impacted Lou. That was nicely done.
But I found myself struggling to like Lou, and since she was the main character, this made enjoying this book tricky for me. She came across as very judgmental and dare I say mean. Like the way she treated Isabel in the beginning really bothered me. Yes, she said something mean about you, yes, everyone is like 16 years old so they’re going to be a bit dramatic about things. But she borderline bullied her for a while there imo, and I’m not into those kinds of romances, and therefore couldn’t take the romance seriously after that.
Overall, it was a quick, well-paced read that just wasn’t for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
