Cute romance but nothing too special- I was hoping for wittier dialogue or some spark to make this book and connect. I liked the characters, like the body-positive and sex-positive messages but her whole experience with only guys knowing/wanting her mom and the hole of not realizing he asked her out (also him not asking her to prom) was just meh for me. I didn’t like how quickly she got involved with him and racing through sex with no experience and totally new feelings towards him though, seemed unrealistic. I did also like her changing her stance on bullies and standing up for herself, as well as she doesn’t need to involve herself. Again, cute but not special, just quick read.
