I also admit that I enjoyed the 90s pop culture! Generally I don't like pop culture added in but that's more for recent ones. I liked that it was 90s for a change!
Also I hadn't realized that this is set in Canada at a Catholic high school?! That was super fun for me! Although we don't all sing the national anthem (I never did that in any of my schooling so idk if that's an Ontario thing?).
I admit I wished for a bit more of the familial relationships - as I loved the moments that Jessie had with her family.
Overall a great YA contemporary read!
