"I like the circle of friends of friends in this book. It was more on the realistic side too, I liked how the MC didn't immedietly get toghether with the boy who loved her, or immedietly got over her almost date-rape. From the start, I guess Leon sent her the necklace and flowers. Jonathen was downright creepy. How Rita came in the end was crazy. You don't think about her until the end of the story. She was Jonathens last victim before the MC. Tyrone talking about Rhonda literal couple goals. He's always hyping her up and praising her. I loved this book."
