4.5

I love this conclusion of a good series. What's preventing it from getting a 5 star rating is that you have to read a painful mediocre novel before reading this (I hate Knox). It reveals some lore of Bayview and has a very shocking scene a bit in the story that made me stop reading to think about what I just read.

The first part of the book is bad, Knox is annoying and I can't stand him.
Part two gets better but I can't go beyond this rating because the majority of the book was part 1.

5.0

I loved this book. It's full of plot twists and a massive one towards the end. I will recommend this to all my friends.
All the characters were always on the edge. I'm a bit sad that I will never read it for the first time again but the second time will be good.

3.0

The book was decent, it's entertaining but it didn't feel like romance. I found it a bit disappointed that it was more of a coming out story. I think there's too many coming out stories in LGBTQ+ fiction but I don't hate it.
It referenced But I'm a cheerleader so much, I personally loved it since I watched the movie but it would be a tad confusing for people who haven't watched the movie or enjoyed it.
They acted like authentic teenagers but some of the characters were annoying.

A good read, I enjoyed most pages. There were a few glaring issues with the book with outdated memes and the pacing being a bit random. The ending is sweet and I think I might read again.
