➜Immediately engaging.
➜ Impressive weaving with all the different players and problems
➜ Did see one thing coming from like page 22, but I'm pretty sure that was intentional...
➜Hooked me and I didn't want to put it down.
➜ Adorable and unique romance.
➜ Great cast of characters.
➜ Didn't get annoyed with her narration or attitude at all. In fact, I'm glad I read this book from the popular girl's POV. I haven't ended up like her mom but I know plenty of adults who fit the bill and think they could benefit from reading more YA like this.
➜ Not sure how I feel about the ending.
