Everyone in this book was so insufferable except Shara and Chloe, whose story I actually liked - just two ambitious but absolutely messy teen girls being mean. I couldn't care less about all yhe other characters and the plot. Good that the other acknowledged through a joke that this is just trying to be some overly queer (I mean, half of senior year in some little Alabama town being queer? ) John Green- PLL - HS queer funny drama but it was just very cringy. Also felt like the plot was already resolved at about halfway so I was just very annoyed for the rest of the time mostly trying to figure out what interesting thing (spoiler alert- there weren't any) could happen. Have to say I didn't like John Green when I was a teenager and I did hope I would like this, but I guess this just isn't for me
