got this as a christmas gift and started and finished it on christmas day which was fun! extremely mid though unfortunately. definitely walked in thinking this was going to be a rivals to lovers high school story (WHICH IT WAS MARKETED AS!!!!!!) but this ended up being a ya story about a girl who starts a feminist wave at her high school with a romance sideplot and while you know slay, good for her, i am past the age in which I care to read about these stories. they mostly discuss things that I already know and understand and most of the time they lack subtlety, depth and some extra nuance that think should be there for obvious reasons. while I think it's so important for these, especially a story like this that had and an almost all Asian cast (which the book would NOT let you forget about omg) I simply don't care despite the many redeeming qualities of this book, they shouldn't have marketed this as a romance because that's going to mess with people's (MY) expectations and therefore enjoyment, I wouldn't have picked it up if I knew what the book was about cause I'm not the target audience for this :////// whatever
