Very YA with silly crushes and cringey scenes, but the twist ending was totally worth it.
Also the focus is on the MC, so not much character development for any of the other characters.

The plot twists in this book were amazing. Especially the ending. How can a book mess with my mind so much in the last two pages?! I'm still in shock from the ending. Loved the book. Read it in two days.

For the longest time I had this book marked as a dnf, but now, I quite vividly remember how that ending pissed me off.

Perfect. Until the last 2 paragraphs. Ugh, I can’t stand loose ends. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a happy ending for me to be satisfied, but I at least like the story to be wrapped up.
