Likes:
- cute, easy read
- Porter!
- Jenn Bennett's writing mostly sounds like a teenage girl, not like a 40 y/o woman trying to sound like a teenage girl
- Bailey's dad
- wholesome female friendship!!

Dislikes:
- we literally find out in the SYNOPSIS that Porter is Alex, and even if you didn't read the synopsis it's obvious about 75 pages in, yet this doesn't become a plot point until 85% of the way into the book. we then have to wait another ~50 pages for Bailey's oblivious ass to realize it. like is she ok???
- some expressions were super cringey (Jeezus cheezus? Porter likey?? referring to nipples as HEADLIGHTS?)
- Alex & Bailey's “romance” was practically non-existent
- some shit was so unrealistic. like really, Bailey was gunned down by someone stalking her family and Porter & his dad were attacked by a shark and there's a drug addict best friend that steals Bailey's scooter and tries to rob them with a shotgun. ok..
