I really don't have an in-depth review on this one except to say that Dean is not a teenager. He's just not. He wears polo shirts and khakis and talks about 'adolescent ennui'. He is very clearly a 36 year old man. And that's fine in a book about 36 year old men, but if the author wants to write a YA - as he's clearly done successfully in the past! - he should possibly consider meeting a real life teenager. Also, this book could not be more clearly a blatant rip-off of RWRB; all of the plot beats are identical

Spoiler

kids of political figures are sworn nemeses, then they get trapped together, bond over the experience, become friends via texting / emails, then start dating, then get outed publicly when someone leaks their messages - it's the SAME PLOT

which seems a bit fishy to me, honestly. It was a relatively enjoyable read, bar all of the dodgy elements that other reviews have expounded in greater detail, but honestly, just read RWRB.
