I love this book. This was my second reading, one where I felt pulled back to try this scenario and meet these characters another time. I love how witty and upbeat Georgina is, I love how funny and irreverant her great aunt is, and I love how supportive her friends are of her, once she lets them in and shares her past. I didn’t care much for Lucas, I thought his attitude was pretty shitty, but at least he thought so too and was very sorry by the end of the book. Ultimately, I think this is a book about standing up for yourself, working through your past traumas and learning to understand other people’s perspectives.
