This was a sweet and heartfelt YA about an oft-neglected topic, the breakup of a friendship. I could relate to many parts of this and I'm sure lots of other people will too. I enjoyed Cleo and Dom's budding romance and her journey of moving on from Layla as well as dealing with her parents' divorce. Cleo and Dom's relationship was so cute and I loved their conversations because both of them were really great characters.
I will say that this book is very YA and gets a bit cheesy and repetitive in the second half, so probably wouldn't recommend it to adults. For teens though, this one is great!

Mentions of statutory rape (both real and rumored) and slut-shaming. The self-harm is implied.kie's review
