Famous in a Small Town

It hurts to say it but this is my least favourite Emma Mills book.
I mean, I don't really regret reading it but this wasn't that good. While I wasn't bored with this, at some points I just felt nothing was really happening. It had some surprising twists that were great for shock value and...pretty much just that.
Also, some of the characters weren't nearly explored as much as I would've liked. AND at some points this book gets cringe-y and holier than thou. I personally didn't agree with some of its ‘‘philosophies'' .
Now this is starting to sound like a hate review which it really isn't, trust me. I'm just disappointed.
Signature Emma Mills writing shone through in this one (lmao calm tf down hoE, you've only read one other book of hers).??
