this was a very nice book. my biggest issue was that though the author says it is an adult book, it definitely feels YA, and young YA. the main character felt very young and it lessened my enjoyment a bit. I also didn’t mesh with the writing style very well. My favorite part was the sister dynamic, which felt very authentic. I also loved the late 80’s setting and the songs that were sprinkled throughout. overall, i enjoyed the book, but I think I would have liked it a lot more if I was a teenager.
