I struggled through this a bit, and only kept with it because I had an ARC and it was a short read. There is not enough background or description of why the main character Ramona has a crush on Caleb, we're just told that she does. I found it kind of hard to be on her side throughout this mess she creates without having that investment of why she is so obsessed with him. I think this book would resonate with younger readers, or anyone who is particularly into cosplay (which is Ramona's main hobby).

1/5 🌶️
