I really enjoyed this book. All of the characters are wonderful and so well-written. I feel like Henri, Corinne, and Ming are still out there, living their lives. This book addresses the very real pressures and struggles of high school students at a high performing school, plus there’s a cute rom-com element. Most of the book is smooth-sailing, but then one of the characters makes a shocking decision in the last 1/4 of the book that really changes the narrative. I liked how it was handled and how it carried the story to its conclusion.
