The book doesn't have a happy ending it is merely a content ending. With Mrs. Richardson finally understanding that her perfect bubble has popped, leaving Izzy out on her own.Moderate: Pregnancy, Toxic relationship, Miscarriage, and Classism

ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST ANNOYING TROPES THAT DONT GET BETTER!!
the author tries to write character development but half of the characters (trip, izzy, moody, etc) don’t really matter in the book and are tied to important characters like mia or mrs richardson but they don’t change or are only used to progress others.
i didn’t enjoy the personalities of the characters or the plot of the book, it was very bland even when the baby trial was happening. the best part of the book was mia’s childhood, but other than that i found it somewhat boring to read.
