3.0

 This was nice but i also had some issues. I really enjoyed the representation of both cultures (mostly Sana's was really well explored), their banter and the film aspect. I also enjoyed learning about the cheerleading world in the beginning (i loved Cheer on netflix!). The last quarter of the book fell short for me, their conflict was ridiculous and that last scene was very very cringe

I would love a book just about Sana's life and the relationship with her family!!! I thought that part of the book was way more interesting than her relationship with Rachel, unfortunately.
