picked this up randomly at the library and man i couldn’t be happier. i really really really adored this book. mia reminds me so much of me only a few years ago, maybe even a bit still. everything from the story to the characters were just so important to me.
i am very excited to buy my copy as i had to resort to taking pictures of everything i wanted to underline.
i love this book and i love women.

What I love most about Jessie Ann Foley's work is that she captures adolescent voices so well -- and with such respect. That holds true here: Mia is a character I'll remember for a long while.

I only wish the ending was given more space to breathe, but perhaps that's just a sign that I wanted more!
