Silver Lining

this book was fun! the conceit was a little weird and contrived and made her a little less likeable as a character early on, and there's like a weird thread of cringiness running through the whole novel (girl stop saying poke), but i brave little soldiered my way through that because i liked the rough-around-the-edgedness of lowdown as a character and i am tired of reading about quirky girls with no personality <3 i waffled between 3.75 and 4 on this but settled on 3.75 because i hate the term “poking”
