It’s hard not to like Dani with Lachlan, while also thinking it’s weird. They get together while she’s 18 but still in high school. I remember when I turned 18 it didn’t really feel different from 17, and he’s 29, and her guidance counselor. I get why Dani was attracted to him because she went through an awful experience that took away some of her innocence and probably made her not relate as much to people her age. Lachlan on the other hand could have done more to not fall for his student. I think the ending made it a little less weird, but for the first 300 pages of the book part of me was hoping it would go a different direction(even though it was pretty obvious it wouldn’t). 
There were some typos in at least my copy of the book.

This book goes through a lot of complex, heavy, and beautiful emotion. It was entertaining and filled with lots of different kinds of love that left me smiling. I loved Dani and Ansel’s friendship.
