Love and Other Secrets

Yeah, I didn't make it far. I was so excited because this book sounds so cute. But, I feel like it throws us into the story and there wasn't enough background information given to me. We finally learn how they became friends, but it felt so simple to me and why is it they don't tell anyone else they are friends??

I know this book focuses on Prom, but wow... it was a bit too much for me. I was overwhelmed. Also, who seriously takes a freshman to prom? Because it sounds like Alex has gone all three previous years and the way it is written makes it sound like so many more times than that. Perhaps I misunderstood and all dances are given these types of hullabaloo.
The asking... I get it. We had a few outlandish ones at my school, but nothing super huge.

We also haven't heard anything yet about Bailey's friends, so I'm under the impression she doesn't have any? It was a bit strange to me.

Super cute concept, it just really didn't work for me.
