House Party by Justin A. Reynolds

Go to review page

emotional lighthearted
This was tough to get into and i dont know what to rate it. I found that i couldnt keep up with all the characters (surprisingly), and i didnt care for a lot of them either. I cared about a few 
I really liked that we got a "where are they now" bit. That was cool and smart. 
I jist wish i liked the characters more. 
I didnt realize this wasnt an anthology but once i realized it was interconnected i thought i would like it like blackout. So i'm disappointed that i didnt. Maybe it woulda been better if i didnt listen to the audio. Idk.

Hard for me to get through initially but it was really cute. 
This whole relationship is miscommunication though lol or things left unsaid. But it's alright. Im not mad at it.

Wowowwww gotta see what happens in the next one.
Still think june and nia need to part ways til there's more growth. 
They both got nasty tendencies. But nia seems worse to me. How u know ur friend too shy to say she has a crush but u trynna get to know the crush urself? & u keep acting like her interest is whack?

I get part of june's journey is not only to learn to speak truth and live it but to also say her truth with care to others. But the fairy godmother coulda led with that. Talk about mixed signals for a preteen.

June having harsh opinions is nasty work but to leak a blog so one person can be disliked by many is nastyy nasty work. Like girl, you want june to be isolated from a huge part of town? That's too much. And olive made a good point saying she hurt other ppl in town by leaking the blog. 

I kinda wish is was more stressed how anxious june is. I feel like anxiety is what leads her to lie. But i digress. 

Drama chile.
Growing up is hard. 
Will be reading book 3.

I think this needs to be adapted into movies.

We love email or letter correspondence for a budding romance. 
Teddy was soooo insecure it was wild. But we learn why (childhood trauma ofc) and i think it was done well.
I enjoyed this. I did think this book felt really long. But i'm ok with it. & i def wanna read "Just another love song."
