Tahira in Bloom by Farah Heron
3.0

This was so cringey. The dialogue was written as if a 40 year old was trying to write teenagers...who speaks in hashtags? Who calls someone thirst trap? What teenager actually acts like an influencer in every facet possible? Rowans behavior was just grimy, Matteo is actual trash, Gia is shallow as shit, and it took Tahira way too long to get a grip. The storyline was also incredibly boring. The only reason this gets 3 stars is because juniper is one of 3 redeeming characters.
