“Maybe part of fighting the unhappiness in this world is to seize happiness when we can.”

This was adorable and fun and just full of teenagers being messy and I loved it.  I loved watching Ever grow to love herself and her culture. It was amazing to finally see her fight for the things she wants while still appreciating the fight her parents have put in for her to have this life. I loved the found family aspect and all the relationships. Of course some characters were annoying and honestly Ever is way more forgiving than I would’ve been, but this book did a great job summing up what it’s like to be young and not know what you’re doing. Don’t take it too seriously and just enjoy the ride.

this book was so amazing! new favourite for sure. i am so happy with the plot! the way Abigail writes paints such a vivid picture in my head, especially of the dance scenes.
