Taylor Jenkins Reid writes very realistic characters and engaging stories, and you will find yourself swept up in the lives of the characters and interested in their journeys. Each POV has a very distinct voice too.

The two things I think Reid needs to improve on are the predictability of her stories (it's not hard to guess every single thing that will happen) and the way she basically points and says, “Look, here's the moral of the story. This is what you should think about this thing.” She doesn't really allow the reader to infer or form their own opinions.

All in all, I'll probably always waver between 3 and 4 stars. I really liked some parts, liked some others, and straight up rolled my eyes a few times. I think the fantastic bisexual representation is what really makes this book worth it.
