I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I've read almost everything Talia Hibbert has written, so I jumped at the chance to request her first foray into YA. I was relieved to find that her writing style--witty banter, laugh-out-loud one-liners, and strong representation of mental health issues--translates well. Brad and Celine both feel fleshed out and unique, and their relationship is, well, unfairly cute. Hibbert does, however, spend less time adding depth to her plot; for example, I wanted more from the BEP scholarship storyline. Regardless, if you've enjoyed Hibbert's other books and also like reading YA, pick this up.
