This book was just what I needed. It was a sweet book with a happy ending and an overall adorable plot. The main character is super relatable and is a realistic and likeable character. I think what I liked most was that it felt like the characters where actually modern day teenagers without it feeling awkward or forced. I also found the school so reminiscent of the high school I went to. My high school was also a wealthy, mainly white, Midwestern school and while prom wasn't that big of a deal, the whole vibe felt familiar. I kinda felt like I was living vicariously through Liz since I was a pretty antisocial teen and I never did anything like what she did. It was a very uplifting, stress-free book, perfect for a quick read or to get you out of a slump.
