Like I said before, the friendships and romances in this book definitely have depth. But these things are real, and the author does tackle these experiences, providing a depth to the characters and relationship that may be missing from the usual fluffy romance NA’s. There’s New Adult where we’re reading about unrealistic humans experience unrealistic events, and then there’s New Adult that describes the gritty aspects of life: the parts where we usually don’t want to read about in fiction, the awkward moments, and the ones of self-doubt and oscillating between things.

I think all females, no matter what their age group (but especially the ones transitioning from teen to adult) have to pick this book up! It’s not only a romance between two people caught on opposing forces of a competition, but considers the patriarchal and misogynistic tendencies that are unfortunately common in society – addressing them in feminist ways through the strong-willed main character, Jess.
