While I appreciated the author tackling the idea of someone being a people pleaser and how burdensome that is, Sadie was incredibly tiresome and stubborn. And Julius was exactly the same. I couldn’t find it in myself to root for either of them much less them together. I think this book would’ve been vastly improved if they had started forming an actual friendship somewhere in the middle. But they pretty much are awful and sniping at each other the entire damn book even when you know they’re supposed to be attracted to one another. I’ve read some great YA romance novels before, and this is far from one of them.
