I have never been so stressed reading a book as I was in part 1 of this.
Hated the ending I'm very upset.

I really enjoyed the "enemies" to reluctant friends bit of this, love that cheesy shit. I hate Ethan's refusal to believe his brother is not a good guy despite his obviously sketchy behaviour, that he pressured Olive into not telling her twin about his brother's lies, and that he only admitted he was wrong when it was too late.

I also would've liked to see what Becky did addressed more? She remained in a relationship with the guy who assaulted her best friend's little brother and didn't think she did anything wrong so never apologised. Additionally, what Lucas did was super creepy and he seems to be forgiven by the end.
Overall, it was good for a novel written by a teenager! I'm looking forward to reading Alice's other books and seeing her improvement.
