Thank you NetGalley for access to the e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Storygram Tours and Penguin Teen for sending me a finished copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book was honestly not what I was expecting it to be, but in a good way. Watching Birdie and Cass go from true enemies to lovers was amazing, and reading about Birdie growing and learning more about herself really had me emotional. There is a lot of issues mentioned in this book that really should be talked about more, including classism and gentrification, as well as using children for views, likes, and follows. I genuinely enjoyed having the dual POV in this book as well, it definitely added to the story getting both perspectives. Overall I definitely recommend this book to others!
