I loved almost every single thing about this book! It pretty much had me at “Booksmart meets Phantom of the Megaplex” and it very much lived up to that! I loved Rochelle & Amira as well as all of the side characters! Everyone felt so fleshed out and I would honestly love to read even more books in this world! The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the reveal at the end. It wasn’t shocking at all and was just disappointing 🤷🏻‍♀️ but besides that, I really loved this and would very much recommend!!
