Gossip Girl style read made authentic by the author’s own experiences. Easy read about difficult topics. I was invested despite the difficulty of defining the different characters’ voices. A worthwhile read for age 14+

This was a really important, powerful story. I really enjoyed it, however, it definitely started slow and took too much, unnecessary time establishing the setting and the way the characters interact before getting into the main subject matter at the core of the story. When it got to that content, I felt it moved too fast, so a bit of a pacing issue in there, too.
