tangotini 's review for:

Wren Martin Ruins It All by Amanda DeWitt

2.5

---

The main storyline was intriguing, the MC’s pettiness and wit was fun to read (very reminiscent of my teenage self), and the side characters had fun personalities. I enjoyed the first half of this book, but found myself skimming the second half because I didn’t feel any significant character beats or moments. I would’ve liked more scenes where the MC and love interest are significantly/tangibly supporting each other, beyond exchanging supportive words and the occasional gift. I also desired closure for some loose ends, like the drama teacher’s stage, are they going to do the Dance again if this one was such a success, how did other characters’ Dance matches go (then again, the MC is shown to not be that perceptive). Even though heavy topics were mentioned in this book, I desired more depth and description.
