I feel very meh about this book.

1. Was the dream world ever explained? Like it's existence? You can definitely tell from the narrative that it's not a known, common thing among the general population. I listened to this on audiobook, so I'm not entirely sure if I missed it or if it just wasn't explained.

2. What is with the obsession of the main character's virginity? I know what place it had in the plot, but like - why was it mentioned so often?

3. Liv constantly referred to Grayson as her "new stepbrother" (which isn't even technically an accurate label at this point). However, she spent a chunk of the beginning of the novel obsessed with his sweater and refusing to give it back. (Now, this does connect to the plot, but like - it just came off weird.) She would also occasionally mention how attractive he was. It was a weird vibe.

4. Not exactly a con, but this novel read a lot younger than I would have expected. I know that it's young adult, but I felt like the narrative read more like a girl in middle school (aside from the virginity obsession). It didn't work for me, but definitely could for a younger audience.
