Whelp, the good days can’t last forever. Hopefully Saga’s talk with Shane’s dad isn’t too awkward. I’ll be finishing this tomorrow before an event.

Sage and Shane’s relationship is progressing well after a hiccup, though the former gets the feeling she’s walking on eggshells thanks to Dylan. His front is built by high school sexism where his mom is concerned. Is he acting in the appropriate way? Doubtful.

I’m with Lila. Dylan might use Sage’s past as ammo.

It’s been almost ten years since I first read this, and Aguirre’s writing is just as compelling as it was despite some editing errors. The insta-attraction isn’t as cumbersome for me when Sage’s past lurks in a corner, prepping for her big reveal.

The collective post-it notes from the other students. ;3

I'm really spurprised on how much I'm liking this book so far. The feels are already out everyone! Plus, the main characters are super likeable.

I really like Lila so far. I hope her friendship with Sage goes well, as I can see it going really far.
