Writing in the voice of a teen can be super difficult, but some of the dialogue here was seriously cheesy. But these authors have written teen characters before that sounded/felt more natural.

Despite that, good inclusion of diversity, love, and different cultures. I found Stevie to be really annoying and pretentious though the grand gesture at the end was sweet. You can't hinge the story on the most unlikable character.

I don’t think I cared for any of the couples here unlike Blackout though it was nice that most of the misunderstandings/miscommunications were lighthearted.

Garbage. Trash. Crap.
I picked up this book because it was short and I enjoyed another of the series (by a different author). I am very sorry that I did.
For being less than 30 pages, this book had every single content warning that I have seen EVER. It was horrid.
This book was disgusting and I will never read anything by this author again. I cannot recommend this to anyone for any reason.

Content: s*x trafficking, murder, parent with severe mental issues, abusive stepparent, s*x between minors, descriptions of peeing(?), literally everything was about race, drug use, a girl plans to “have her fun” with FMC… (mer)
