Talia Hibbert is such a master of her craft!!! This was exceptional, as all her books are, and as her first (I think?) YA, she still wrote something romantic and comedic, yet well-oriented to a YA audience. 

Clearly, her skills in crafting well rounded, relatable romances translates well even for a teenage audience. I don't mean in terms of sexual content or lack thereof, but in the sense that the story feels like it's meant for teens and is very firmly rooted in kind of the high school experience. It doesn't try to make them fake adults in teenage bodies, Celine and Bradley are very much teenagers being silly in their senior year of high school. 

Do I think the marketing could have made the YA distinction a little more clear? Yes, definitely. But at least it's not the same exact branding as her other novels (*cough* other romance authors that are writing YA now *cough*). But overall, this was a really great work that I think teens will enjoy, and even as not-so-teen anymore, I also thought it was another great Hibbert novel that was such a nice comfort read.
