I don’t usually read romance novels, but I needed to read something more positive than my usual genre (horror). This was the perfect book to start with in romance. Christina Lauren are brilliant writers.
Fizzy is my favorite character in this book because she’s funny, sarcastic, confident, and successful.
I will definitely read more books from Christina Lauren.

I finished this book late at night and it gave me a paranoid reminder to make sure I locked ALL MY FREAKING DOORS AND WINDOWS!! It’s 9pm right now and I already know I’m not gonna get any sleep tonight. If I hear a noise in the closet, I’m gonna s*** myself!!

This series will always have a special place in my heart ♥️. If this type of stuff was around when I was growing up, I would have came out as bisexual so much sooner than I did. Thank you, Alice Oseman. Recommending this to all of my queer friends and family.
