Shout out to Cat Sebastian for writing We Could Be So Good, thereby introducing me to this amazing book. I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I did, especially with how confused I was by the first few dozen pages (Renault’s writing style was a bit daunting at first, but I ended up loving it once I got the hang of it), but I’m so glad I didn’t give up on it. I now need to reread We Could Be So Good, and I would recommend both of these books wholeheartedly.
