i had so much fun with this!!
it took me so long to really LOVE emily, the main character after

what happened at prom

but when you really dive into that, i got attached anyway - which is exactly what i expect for a rachael lippincott book!! i loved how it handled deep themes like grief, loss and the way comp-het was represented was so good!! apparently i was NOT MENTALLY READY for emily to struggle as much as she did, and i SOBBED several times, but honestly that's my favorite type of books!!

This is a coming of age book whose protagonist, Emily, is a senior in high school who is still coping with the loss of her mother who died of cancer three years ago. She discovers in an old yearbook of her mothers a bucket list that her mother wrote. She decides to follow in her mother's footsteps, because she herself feels lost. Her friend Blake, whom is a lesbian, is by her side the entire time. In the end she finally figures out what has been missing from her life and it isn’t only her mother, it’s her true identity. That she herself is actually gay as well.

If you are looking for a cute fun summer read I totally this one, especially now during pride month!

This was amazing on all possible levels, truly letting us in to Emily’s deepest, darkest thoughts. I felt seen reading this book and is 100%, without a doubt the best book I’ve read this year. Thank you Rachael Lippincott for this sweet, touching, and multifaceted book that I could not put down.
