I didn't really know what to expect of this book going in but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

it had short chapters, which helped with my abysmal attention span to get through it faster, and the story was all around heartwarming. Seeing all the characters connect and grow closer to each other, while also not having the relationships grow in a seamless transition made it feel real. There were hiccups and stutters involved, but I think it made the payoff worth it in the end.

Gideon and Claudia ended up being my favorite part of this book, even though arguably I think they got the least screen time, as it were. Their interactions were just so pure and genuine, and you could tell they clicked from the get-go. I was really psyched for them to get together. Gideon is so sweet and deserves the world.

The section where Claudia is talking about how she shouldn't be with Gideon because "she's the type of person people only feel 'regular' about" broke my entire heart. I can relate to those feelings a little bit and I was relating heavily to her this entire book, so it hit extra hard.

Claudia and Isis's friendship was absolutely adorable, and Gideon and Noah's whole relationship was so heartwarming. This book has a lot of soul.
