All Our Worst Ideas

I loved the evolution of Oliver and Amy's relationship, but I wish we saw more of them together. That was a brief period of the book, and I always enjoy the moments where the characters just exist.

I have to admit that I was lowkey stressed throughout the book because of Amy's quest to be valedictorian. It brought back all the stressful high school memories.

They work in a record store, so of course, there are music references galore. I'd always stop and queue up whatever song they were listening to/talking about, which makes me feel more connected. I may have gotten a bit frustrated when they talked about a song, but didn't say the name of the song. (There is a playlist in the back of the book, but I may have spent 10 minutes trying to find a two and a half minute Nothing But Thieves song).

All Our Worst Ideas is a great teen read – the stress of high school and figuring out your future, balancing parents' expectations, and love. I'd absolutely recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
