I love the title! It fits perfectly.

Book Trigger Warnings: Content Warnings: slight homophobia, underage drinking, and smoking. So first of all, I loved how there was such a mix of people in this book. There are teenage LGB members and POC! I liked everyone in the book except for Maritza. I found her super rude and annoying, but at least she was loyal. One of my fav scenes was when they all played hide and seek and then went skinny dipping.
