Four very uncomfy stars.

Def didn’t need this sequel (tho I loved the John Hughes section!)

This one was harder for me to get through because it focused a lot of attention on a few very specific pop culture references for an extended amount of time, and if you’re unfamiliar with them, it’s hard to read and also fangirl alongside the characters 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

I can see a lot of people not liking this one for the writing style alone, BUT once I was able to adjust to that, I found this book beautiful, heartbreaking, and full of so many little lessons.

I also loved how the stories weaved in and out of one another. It was all very intricate.

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

Definitely written for a middle grade audience, and middle grade romances are a little too frustrating for me.

Going for the three C’s with this review.

This book was very convoluted and relied a lot on convenience and coincidence. Three stars instead of two because there was at least some intrigue.
