Wow. I honestly don't think I have formed a single coherent thought about this book since I finished it. This book and this story was incredible! I loved Juliette and Roma and all of the side characters you really got to know and love throughout the story. My two small things I didn't love were that I wish we got to know more of what Roma was thinking and that this book was a little slow. It is a SLOWBURN let me tell you and it took a little for me to get into. BUT, you know I love a good slow burn and boyyy was it worth it!!! (the tequila scene?? iykyk) I loved the tension and angst that formed between the two throughout the book and little glimpses of the past. And THAT ENDING?!?! I need the sequel like two weeks ago!! Fans of Romeo and Juliet retellings will enjoy this one! this book consumed my every thought for weeks even though I wasn't actively reading it. I would think about the characters, think about the story, and my jaw was on the floor for the last 30 pages or so. UGH ANYWAYS!! Give this book a chance and make sure you push through he first 100 pages or so, it is WORTH IT!!!

Ahhh what a cute book!! This book reminds me a lot of books I read on wattpad back in middle school and high school (in the best way possible!!) I love willow joining the hockey team and Brodie needing her. The mutual pining and forbidden love, it’s all just so good

This was cute! I liked the best friends to enemies to lovers trope. The angst and the pining were great! There were a few things that just made me feel a little uncomfortable reading as an adult and not an actual teen but I just skimmed a little through those parts. Webster was super cute and I loved him. Aubrey was a great MC with a lot of feelings and I loved that about her. I loved the storylines of love and friendship and overall this was adorable!

Ahhh this was adorable!! I really loved how supportive mias friends were, but also critical of her when she needed a little check in with reality (if that makes sense) this book had me guessing which boy she ends up with in the end and I am glad I picked the one I did because wow they are ADORABLE. I loved how all of the different storylines fell into place and how you got to see Mia figure out what she wanted. I also really liked the sibling relationship between mia and Sam. You saw them argue, and butt heads, but at the end of the day they truly love each other and that was what I loved. I found myself relating a lot to the two of them and I loved it. This book is an overall adorable YA romance with great main characters, side characters, and a great story.

I sat thru an entire book for 3 pages of an ending?!?! Okay this book is definitely a slow burn but it was interesting! I wanted to know about these people or why they were there and all that but man I was a little bored. It was a really quick read but I found myself wanting to put it down frequently. I think this book may work better for other people but this book just didn’t do it for me. I was disappointed that nothing was resolved at the end and I didn’t get to see how the other kids reacted after. Idk just not for me
