2.0

Are we really still doing regular HP mentions and pretending teenagers use Tumblr in a book published in 2021? Apparently we are. Also very cringe plot point that a friend who lies and causes one of the major plot elements.... does it because it's hinted she is Ace-spec. It's very vague, but she hints at lying because she isn't interested in romantic love. A perfect example to me of rep backfiring and feeling derogatory towards the group of people the author is trying to include. 

Also this book really feels like it has an identity crisis, of being a book for adults or a book for teens. So much of it feels out of touch with actual 2021 era teenagers, while simultaneously feeling too immature to be adult fiction. It read like a classic 'this is the book I wished I had growing up'.
