"I hated it. I was so ready to read it but I had to put it down after I saw that they put emojis in the book. I couldn’t connect with it AT ALL, Im so disappointed."

"This book is okay, I was expecting more, it didn’t really satisfy me. "

"Helped me get out of a reading block. The characters were fun and genuinely likable, I found myself rooting for everyone (except Will. Once you read the book, you’ll know why) With most books of this genre you often find that authors would try too hard to make characters relatable and end up making uncomfortable and cringey dialogue, but I felt none of that. This book got a lot of laughs out of me. The ending left a lot to be desired, but it was satisfactory. It kind of leaves you wondering “what happened afterwards?”, so if you don’t like that kind of thing, maybe it’s not a book for you."
