This was a fantastic book and I loved both the main character and the love interest. The plot was a bit slow at times and I wasn’t a fan of the texting sections, but I did love the overall storyline. The villains of the piece were a little over the top. The parents of the main character, particularly the mother, were incredibly difficult to read due to the toxicity of the family dynamics - I was so surprised every time she chose to keep her mother in her life rather than go no contact as she was that bad.
