I rounded this up because it’s so good, but the reason it isn’t just a five is I thought the writing style or the way it was written was a little weird. Like it would just jump to a flashback or like she was talking to us one or two times. Other then that this was so good. I really liked Ashley and the growth she went though. I liked all the relationships she developed(family/friends/romantic). I like all that was discussed rather it was the heavier topics or just her growing up and being a teenager. I highly recommend this and can’t believe the 90s is now historical fiction.
