The line that got me to read the book: "...it's perfect for fans of Judy Blume's Summer Sisters and Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend."

On the other side, I whole heartedly disagree with that statement <3 But it got me! It got me to read it! Well done marketing team.

I fear this book just wasn’t very memorable for me. I feel like the story had lots of potential, but lacked major character development moments that would’ve made me feel more connected to the characters.
