3.5 stars ann liang is the only author that can consistently capture my thoughts perfectly in every single book that she releases. leah reminded me of 3.5 stars ann liang is the only author that can consistently capture my thoughts perfectly in every single book that she releases. leah reminded me of me so much that i was questioning whether ann liang snuck into my house, picked apart my brain, and wrote a book about it. this book follows leah and cyrus going on a trip to china to learn more about their culture; along the way they work out their troubling pasts and find friends that they can rely on forever.
ׂ╰┈➤ leah zhang. i am her and she is me. mesh her and sadie together, and you get me. the two of them are, out of all the 400+ books i’ve read, the most relatable characters ever.
i feel a spasm of self-consciousness, certain that i’m doing it wrong, that i look stupid, that i’m about to be made fun of. sometimes it feels like there’s an invisible comment section floating around in my brain, and with every mistake i make, every wrong thing i say, these imaginary spectators who vaguely resemble my classmates from my old schools flock forward to pass judgment. ⤷ not wanting to care about what other people think but deep down knowing that you still care immensely is so relatable. at the end of the book, leah finally gained her confidence and that was just amazing to watch ...more

as i said before, this story wasn't necessarily bad (although predictable). the biggest problem was 100% the pacing. it felt like i was reading the same scene over and over again, like she took the worst parts of powerless and (especially) reckless then exemplified them in this book. and suddenly, everything was thrown at the reader in the last 30% of the book. there was no reason that this book should be over 400 pages, max.
pae and kai were bearable. but somehow, even though 'reckless' was extremely boring and probably the most repetitive book i've ever read, i could still feel their tension. in this book, i didn't feel anything at all. idk how lauren somehow managed to make their chemistry worse.
