this book was just miscommunication and sex, with a bit of soccer sprinkled in between. i liked the diversity of the characters and the romantic scenes between grace & phoebe but other than that this book was pretty meh

i was very intrigued, but the book was pretty predictable ngl. still enjoyable though! i liked the characters, and the intertwining storylines, but i think there should've been more to this book for everything to be so carefully intricated, and so that they all had more time to grow.

this book didn't turn out how i was expecting. i wish there was more of a buildup to the villain reveal. but i got through.
what truly carried this book for me was the sisterhood. i will always love strong friendships in media, especially strong female friendships. the girls' bond was the best part.
i loved scarlett and jackson, but i'm not a fan of vivi and mason. mason bothers me. he was always attracted to vivi even when he was still with scarlett, which was really icky.
overall, i'd say this is book is for people trying to break into YA fantasy who aren't used to it yet. it's not so much for us readers who already read a lot of fantasy.
