This was a great, cute YA read, with all the classic love/hate, push/pull, hot/cold tropes. It reminded me a bit of the 90210 reboot, as it’s set in a super affluent CA area with a lot of rich and entitled teens (thing Cotillion and debutantes and over-involved moms). A Black teen tragically loses his parents and comes to live with old family friends (including his old childhood friend/flame), and it’s a culture shock for him and a struggle on many levels. I loved the parallel of Nandy + Trice’s perspectives in alternating chapters, and seeing how their lives (last and present) played out.
