It was filled with teenage angst and drama, broken hearts, friendship, love, it had everything a good YA should have including all the feels. I thought this book was really well written. I mean maybe there was some but I was so immersed into the story that I sure did not notice them. I didn’t see any newbie bumps that I am used to in debuts. This was exactly the kind of YA book that I love to read.įirst, I have to say I was shocked this was a debut. So I realized I had to take an ARC break to read this one and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been dying to read this one and I was asked by a few fellow reader friends to review it. This book was on that list since I purchased it shortly after it came out.
This was so good! I have been really busy reading/reviewing ARC’s lately that I have not had any time to even look at my “own to read soon” list.
I’m sure that’s the point of her character, to be self-destructive and catastrophizing, but it made her more frustrating to read and a little difficult to believe that the love interest would put up with all of that.Ĥ.50 Stars. One of my pet peeves in books is miscommunication for the sake of conflict, and she unfortunately does that by lying and hiding things from the love interest throughout the entire book, which I felt was unnecessary. There wasn’t much chemistry between the two characters, and the majority of the protagonist’s conflict and angst were self-inflicted.
While I appreciate the book covering these topics, I personally couldn’t find myself emotionally invested in the story.
The book also balances themes about family by focusing on the main character’s mom having early onset dementia and how that has affected her and her father. The main characters decide to have their own romcom montage, which is cute to see and I hope girls will be able to envision this for their own life too. This is a coming-of-age sapphic YA story that makes a lot of references to typically straight romcoms and involves the characters discussing how LGBT+ movies often end in tragedy.
