*I WAS PROVIDED A DIGITAL GALLEY IN RETURN FOR MY HONEST REVIEW. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION*
I was really excited about this book and thought that it'd be a great rom-com with a fun plotline. I was, apparently, wrong.
For one, the main character is over the top and annoying. He was quite rude and just plain disrespectful to his friends and teachers at times (in the beginning of the book, his teacher asked him and his friends what they were doing--as they weren't even participating in the class assignment--and he just shrugged her off and literally shooed her away by being "weird").
Another thing was that the secondary characters throughout this book weren't fleshed out well at all. The parents are like 16-year-olds in adult bodies, and Cirrus felt more like a concept than an actual character.
Along with that, I honestly just did not like the writing style at all. It was overly descriptive, weirdly paced, and I didn't like how "nerds" were stereotyped throughout this book. The author made it seem like nerds were supposed to be weak, LARP-loving people who couldn't give two thoughts about the purpose of sports. We all know that isn't true, so I'm not sure why it was written that way.
Overall, I was severely disappointed. I won't be picking this up for a reread in the future.
