I enjoyed this book but it was not quite at the same level as other Ali Hazelwood books for me. The writing was great as always, the plot was interesting, I appreciated that the characters were complex and had things to work through; and there were some really compelling side characters.

While I liked parts of the romance between the main characters, such as the star-crossed lovers' vibes
and the fact that the MCs got to know each other by sharing things they were deeply ashamed of, I feel like the insta-attraction was borderline insta-love and I didn't enjoy that. It was my main problem with the book.
