This felt like Final Girl Support Group meets The Lunar Chronicles with a little bit of the Wayward Children series, all stories I’ve enjoyed.
The ending reveal left me a little underwhelmed, but overall this was powerful and intriguing

I did struggle reading this because our main character, Bridget, is so like me when I was 18-21 and it was difficult to separate. I cringed so many times because I made many of the decisions she did and it was hard watching her make the same ones I made years ago. I wanted to shake her and shout “girl, no! Stop reading into that— he’s not into you! NO WAIT BAD CHOICE!!!”
This is most likely a me issue and no fault of the book, mind you

Also I loved this book. There were so many tropes (although there were also several cliches that usually make me mad, but I liked this book so I much I mostly overlooked them)
This is a great example of a romance that does MORE. It handles some pretty heavy, real stuff, but does it well. I liked Asa and Lauren and was rooting for them all along the way
