as the other review states, i second the notion this should have gone the sapphic route lol.

this was passable for a YA/teen novel, though some of the writing did feel a bit bland/cliche. sabine's naivety hurt to read sometimes, but it did keep the plot moving i guess.

also chris and mari (and grant, to a degree) weren't as fleshed out as i liked them to be. i wanted to know chris's character and backstory more, i can imagine the kind of following he'd have in-universe haha. mari did come off as that certain brand of quirky that gets stale and annoying quick, but considering she's from LA i kinda expected it LOL.

i feel like it's a 50/50 over whether yoona and mari's friendship would last after the ending, considering sabine mentions in the last chapter it's getting harder to find space in their schedules to video chat. though, considering the trials and tribulations they experienced together, i doubt their bond would fizzle that easily.
