[…] I had the list. But I was no longer, it was becoming very clear, on my own in trying to finish it. My friends were helping me.

Morgan Matson you’re a witch doctor for making me ship not one but two (2!!) cishet teen pairings. But here we are!

This book was so nice and gentle. I fell in love with Emily and her journey of self-discovery as she learns to build her confidence outside of her friendship with Sloane. I loved the characters in this book and it was really sweet to see how Emily built her own friendships with other people.

The writing was also nice. It was a bit rough at times but mostly decent and fun :).
