This was my first book by this author and I enjoyed it a fair amount as an audiobook.
The narrator was fantastic in expressing all the subtleties and giving more depth to the characters.
I strongly dislike the brief scene of coerced sex of one of the characters, as she was only 15 years old. I felt like it was completely unnecessary and didn't add to the overall plot and story at all.
Overall, fantastic book, love the timeline jumping with the different character's point of views and such. It was handled very well by the author!!

CW & TW!!! There is a brief scene of coerced sex, that one of the main characters basically ends up feeling like is rape, followed by the conflicting thoughts and gaslighting from the boy.
