A prequal novella to Pretty Girls. I read it after I read PG and I’m glad I did, I don’t think I would’ve cared as much if I read it first and not known what was going to happen to Julia.

That being said, it was so devastating to learn more about Julia and who she was as a person knowing her tragic fate. It was also sad to see that they had a really healthy family unit before she was murdered.

Overall it was a super quick audiobook and really enjoyable!

Really cute, I enjoyed it a lot! This book had a really nice scene with consent/boundaries which I love to see in a book. I thought the telenovela-inspired show setting was really fun and unique.

Here me out, I loved Jasmine and Ashton and I did genuinely enjoy them together. I have a hard time fully rooting for couples where I feel like one them is desperate though. Jasmine, self-admittedly, has a bad habit of falling in love too easily and jumping into relationships. I don’t think any less of her as a character for that, but it does make me feel the relationship is less special. In a way, he could’ve been anyone, and she’s just lucky he’s not a piece of shit. But he is genuinely wonderful so I’m still here for it.

Absolutely incredible. Really informative and interesting without feeling dense. This was probably the fastest I’ve ever read/listened to an educational book.

Highly recommend the audiobook. All of the voice actors did incredible and I love that they got different actors for each character.

I found it hard to root some characters.

It was cute and a really easy read, but not particularly memorable. Still worth the read though, especially if you have Kindle Unlimited.
