was one of my favorite books as a teenager so i decided to reread. firstly the age gap is pretty gross. but aside from that which is. very bad! um the romance was. too much! taylor's good at establishing mood/emotion obvi v pretty writing but i think a lot of it is put into the romance which the book would've been fine without entirely. i dunno. honestly i never read the second one so i am glad i read this so that i can read the second one but. the romance did make me gag
