4.5/5
I took me 12 hours to finish this book. I thought I'd never finish it

It's not a complain tho!

I'm not giving it 5 stars because It didn't fully draw me in despite having a wonderful story, with a wonderful development.

The book is everything you can ask if I'm being honest: good characters, good plot, good writing, not over the top drama or unexplained things, etc.

Something I really like was that how Brooke character was portrayed, I knew she wouldn't make a big mess out of Taylor leaving but I still worry. I was so pleased to read she reacted as a expected (in the given situation) and that in the “fight” they acted as forty-year old women and did not start spitting hurtful facts about each other.

At the beginning of the book, I kinda new how it was going to end but it was still so warm to read and seeing Taylor didn't give up fully on her trips make me happy.

(I'm so so glad there was no unnecessary drama with Kevin)

As always (pun intended) Haley Cass wrote another masterpiece that I'm glad I could read!

4/5
I can say a lot of things about this books but I'm mostly want to express how much i enjoyed it.
I found myself laughing out loud many times to Alex remarks (as i write this i just found out it's supposed to be comedy !)
I also worried and cringed (not in a bad way) for Molly. I had to stop reading sometimes because i expected the worst and that they would put poor molly into such an awkward situation... I'm glad it never actually happened.

I suffer from social anxiety so to some extent i could related to Molly character and I'm so glad she started to work around it with Alex help. Like i felt proud myself as Alex got better at social interactions and how loose she was with Alex around.

At first i didn't think i would really like that they two got together because like it's says Alex has someone that loves her (before we knew she was a btch) and Molly was interested in Cora so i rooted for each.
I even rooted for Cora and Molly till the end tho

4/5

Not much to say, i enjoyed it.
I hoped the misunderstanding was a bit more produced it was kinda weird i didn't understand it too much XD

I wished there was a bit more of a angst and that we actually got to see brandon and Annie wedding:(

But would recommend if you dont have problem you ya and second chances

I didn't finish
It was good, i don't really remember the details since I read it months ago but i do remembered thinking that the protagonist needed help asap.
I dropped it when the couple got together for good (without the game in between). I didn't really wanna read the ramble about the departure.
Nice book tho may give it another change when i want to read angst

4/5
Nice reading. Heck i finished in three days, record for me. I was hooked up on the story.
It was my first time reading switching pov it's was interesting.
I suffer a bit (a lot) with Hani friends and it makes me wonder if people like those really exist because i don't know many people.
I related to some extent with ishu about the only studying thing and i made me sympathize with her.
It also made a bit sad to think our life is mostly only studying
Other thing i noticed is that i didn't feel that Hani was a popular girl by the way other treated her or maybe it wasn't shown enough?

Again nice reading. Would 100% recommend this book

3.5/5

I'm gonna begin by saying I enter college, which is why I took so long to finish the book. I almost have no time to read anymore.

Now, to the review.

I was pretty pleased with it.
At first I was worried the endgame would be the man (like it happens on perfect on paper) and I had to look for spoilers to put myself at ease.

Though I wished through the book they would show us more about the queer relationship that the straight one.

Many people mentioned it was a bit weird how sudden Chase became obsessed with Larissa. It was, a bit, but they explained Larissa had this big change, so I can understand it.

At some point, I loved how Chase treated Larissa and they showed Jasmine as having no feeling for Larissa so I thought it would be okay for Chase to get the girl.

(I'm having my bi discovering too ajjej)

He did, though.

When Jasmine explained everything, it made things clear and I began rooting for her again. But, if we see Larissa perspective, Jasmine wasn't showing or doing anything to prove her feelings. Like I said before I even thought Jasmine had no feeling at all.

I think the author did a good job with that.

Honorific mention for Kiki, I like her, she's a good friend (side eye to Shannon.)

I just really wished there were more moments with Jasmine and Larissa but it seems sapphic books aren't build like that.

Overall, it was a quick, easy and entertaining read.
I would recommend it as to have something to enjoy reading.

4/5

I loved this book, I really really did but I didn't give it 5 stars for the things I'm going to explain.

Yet, it's totally worth to give chance in my opinion, it not a perfect book, but its funny and light to read. It's really nice if you are looking for something to enjoy

When I started it, I threw me off it was first pov (I hate it) but it didn't stop me.

The first thing I noticed was the writing, it was nice and easy to follow along.
It wasn't so hard to differentiate the main characters speeches.

I honestly find it hard to say good things because I enjoyed it a lot and I don't know how to put them into words. I just remembered having to stop reading to compose myself because of how much I was smiling.

Yet, I'll point out a some stuff that I didn't enjoy anyways.

- I felt some things were left undone or rushed, for example Emma feelings of unworthiness. They were mentioned a lot as internal thought but she barely talked about them. It seems like she never got ride of the idea she wasn't enough and the book ended. Maybe it was part of the plan, idk.
- I have conflicted feelings about Sophia accepting being in a relationship after despiting the idea so much. Through all the book we see how much she hates love (a bit forced to my opinion), she lost a friend to it and suddenly she got it bad for a girl to step over her ideas? I mean, she learns and understand loves it's not always meant to end tragic but I would like if they explored more the subject of the disgust towards dating.
- The make up after the fighting, felt poor (but at the same time realistic)
- now my biggest complain.... It ended too quickly (not rushed), I was at 97,5% and they still got to get together. It was an understatement to say I was in distress. I wish they showed us more of their relationship as a couple like they did with the side-couples.

Overall I enjoyed it, a lot.
I ended it in 6 hours (2 days). I feel really proud of myself.
I hope my next reading it's like this one.

4/5

Gonna be honest, took me a while to finish this book.
I started it around January, then enter college and had to pause it until now, December (I'm ashamed).
I can't write a good review as I don't remember much of it but I'll try.

I'll start by mentioning it's third pov which add several points to it.
It's easy to read except when they rant about music because I have absolutely no idea what they talking about.

The main characters are really likeable and nice and I liked their dynamic.

(Spoiler)
When I resumed my reading I went back to reviews and someone said they didn't have a completely “happy ending” and it got me really worried but for me it was a happy ending. they got both together and made it work.
Just because they will have it a little rough doesn't mean it won't be worth it

I just wished they would show us a bit more of their relationship as established girlfriends.

All in all, it was a really enjoyable read and I would 100% recommend it

(Just one part I didn't understand it's in a interview the dialogue was on first pov, it throw me off, idk it was on purpose or a mistake)

Didn't finish for now.

I can't bring myself to finish this book.
At the start I really liked it but when they build the relationship I didn't like it at all, i feel it was rushed and then with one of the characters fight with her mom. I just had to put it aside.
I don't know why tbh maybe I'm just picky.
I hope I'll come back and finish it

3/5
Nice book, I found it a bit too long in some parts, slow and tedious at the beginning but i wouldn't have it otherwise. It's perfect in timing, when you think about it, Hayden despite Sam how the heck would she fall for her in a month or so?
Hence the author picked a pase that adjusted very well to the story, all seemed something that could actually happen.
I liked the fact there were no unnecessary dispute between the both.
Also it's my first time reading a book with a non-binary character and I really like it.
My favorite part of all the book:
“Hayden, what did you do?”

I really like this book.
Sweet and short. Totally recommended.

I suffer a bit with the thought of the main character. All the self pity made me feel bad. she was being too hard on herself (but that's probably the point)

Spoiler->

Tho one thing I didn't understand it why Pari suddenly kissed her after Rachael went to search for clothes at their room. I got kinda lost there

I cried like I cry when I'm going through my lowest point in life. This was amazing, I'm speechless. Even though I'm not really fan of first pov, that doesn't stop me from thinking that, as far, this is my favorite book.

(spoiler?)
Though I'm still a bit bitter that Harper didn't tell Chloe about her “curse”, but that's on me and my problem of wanting everyone to know everything

5/5
I want to say a lot of things about this book but I probably won't. I may forget some and others will be to hard to explain.

Starting by saying it made me tear up a bit. I was kind of surprised to see the tears well up on my eyes as i read. I don't understand why if i wasn't sad but i guess it made me feel something.

Talking more about the book. I really enjoyed the side characters, there were plenty (some books lack characters) and they were likeable. No one seemed over do or fake to me.

I also enjoyed there were no dramatic fights or over the top misunderstandings. All the characters stayed mature through the book; a great example would be Grace who even though all the pain and guilt she feel inside she never mistreated Eva for getting along with her Mother.
I was a bit eery about how the author would handle the situation about Maggie treating Eva like daughter better than Grace and Grace and Eva being together at the same time. I thought at some point it would blow up and Grace would say something about the lines “You mother stealer” or some cringe shit but it was gracefully handled (thank you Ashley)

I'm glad that nothing big really happened (sa, death)

I read some reviews saying that who meets someone and then randomly appears at their window and it's true it was weird but it's the only thing that happened that it didn't make sense.

I loved the internal dialogue of Grace, how it was worded and paced. I really can't explain it well

4/5
I had to re start the book three times because i was so busy to keep going but each time i had an amazing time and never got bored.
I loved the pace and easiness of the book. As I'm not an native English speaker sometimes reading can be frustrating but with “She drives me crazy” i could lose myself in it.

Spoiler?
There are few things i would comment on but one of those would be i felt like Irene feeling were developed suddenly. Like out of nowhere but that could be only me.
I also wished there would be more scene of Irene and Scottie relationship as a couple. I was looking forward it a lot

17.12.23-12.02.24
4/5

I want to start by mentioning I don't know why it took me so long to finish this book.
I never stopped enjoying it and it was interesting but I couldn't focus too much on it.. maybe it was thinking it would be like any other story, repetitive.
But it wasn't.
It had its own colors and its own problem and the drama wasn't so heavy as I was fearing.
I realized that when I arrived to chapter 12, and I kinda of devourerd the book after it.
However, getting to chapter 11 wasn't tedious, it was just slow because I didn't read as much

Mentioning the characters, I like there weren't many (I have trouble remembering names) and I love how friendship was portrayed in the book.

I would like to point out it that I never understood what where the friends working on ajsjs but maybe it was just me being dumb

Overall, the book was entertaining, easy to read and follow along for someone who's not a native English speaker

Spoilers:

The novel part, omg the novel part, I don't think I ever read something as romantic (I don't read too much okay) I was smiling so hard to myself!! I loved it
This is why I'm single

Another scene I like is where where Hunter gets the call, bc I really really loved how it was shown she was shut down, like I could totally feel that her feelings and issues with Sam were no longer as important as her mom well being.
I even wondered once how will the author recover from this without forcing it... And she did! Splendidly to my opinion

“My love” as a contact name will be my new goal, just saying

Oh man, I'll miss this book

5/5

aMAZING
I'm crying
I thought i wouldn't enjoy it that much since I was coming from a third pov book and this was first pov but i didn't mind it so much

/Spoiler maybe

I was so worried at first that Marissa wouldn't return Ally feelings and i was also concerned about both of them going to different places but it was played nicely.

THE KISS THO THE KISSSSSS i felt my face heat up with only the kiss it was so well written i could feel it . One of the best.

So short it's bitter. I wish there was more to it

(I asked for a recommendation in the end, I'd love if someone read it, no need to read this whole ass paragraph, just the last lines)

3/5 I liked it, I bit too long for what the story needed. Hated the the dialogue on cap.
Hannah shouldn't have forgiven Barker so easily. Barker was a bitch along side Marlene.
A lot of emotions.
Wally deserved better

Honestly , this book made my cry like a baby. I think I never cried this much reading a book.
I was so hook up that I finished in one day.
I loved the group dynamic.
I even rooted for Wally and Hannah, after everything Baker did to Hannah I felt like she did not deserve her back, no matter how scared she was, there's no justify for her actions.
I felt towards the end it was like a fanfic, when all the stuff in the last party when down but then I remembered reading so many real cases of attack towards gay folks just for the sake of being gay.

I thought the book was going to end with baker and Hannah in the hospital and I'm glad it didn't.
I was really happy that hannah went and talked to all her friends about it and how everyone of them reacted. Just wished she had told Wally that she did like him and she didn't send the mail.

I'm not catholic and I don't know much of the bible of all those things but i relate to something hannah did. I'm gay and I have often struggling with the why am I like this, I have cried myself to sleep wishing for it to just go away. I have even asked “God” for help (I put it the “” bc I'm not really sure what I mean with God)

You know at some point in the story I thought Hannah was going to hurt herself but it ended begin Baker.
I was happy with the end and how things got resolved (for what I could tell, Marlene was expelled right?)
However I still wanted Wally to be with Hannah. I read the book because it was a sapphic story but ended up rooting for the straight couple lmfaoooo

Can someone recommend me book with character like Wally? Doesn't matter if it lgtbq or straight, I just want more of Wally
