I really wish MG stories were kept to being about MCs in the Middle Grade reading age bracket. If an author wants to introduce some 13+ elements I wish they would do it through older secondary characters like older siblings/cousins, or babysitters. We need another reading age category between MG and YA. This was my only fault with this book.

I really liked this book in the beginning (as YA), but for some reason it began to bore me, so I set it aside for a short while. I picked it back up after finishing Twins and am still slogging through it. One of the problems is the action scenes are too long and most of them are too predictable.

Published June 2021 - Hoopla Borrow
Seeing that Pride Month is in June and that's Carib-A-Thon month, I'm going to be reading LGBTQ titles in April because it's Diversity Month. I'm saying this book is New Adult 18+ because the MC is almost eighteen and there was a description of a sexual act in the first few pages. This is okay for 16+ but YA includes 12-15 year olds. I will have to go to Edelweiss to see what it was published as.
