I enjoyed the fact that we got both Sophia's point of view and how others perceived the situation from the outside, but it felt a little clumsily done at time and like some parts should have been edited out.
Sophia suffers from a very very bad case of not like the other girls with a side of not as cool and tough as she thinks she is and other people's perspectives really helped be it just as a break from how insufferable she was for most of the story. At its core this is a story of personal growth with a splash of supernatural for Sophia so it makes sense for her to actually need some growing up but she was really hard to put up with for most of the story. Luckily her friends actually called her out on her BS instead of just being her ride or dies so the relationships didn't seem too fantastical.
Alsever seems to actually understand how the clock app works which was refreshing, I have read way too many authors who could not seem to muster even the most basic understanding of how social media apps work and how people behave on them.
The ending was satisfying on one front but kind of a let down on the other.
3.5 rounded up for Goodreads.
I received an eARC of this book from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
