4.5

I feel like Sarah Hogle just really enjoys putting her main characters in a secluded derelict house and I am HERE FOR IT HAHA!! Wesley is literally my dream man like the whole time I was just thinking he could not possibly get better BUT HE DOES?!? And seeing Maybell stand up for herself in her own way and fulfill her dreams by working hard with what she has, showing that bravery does not always have to come in loud actions but in taking steps towards a better future even when one is afraid. I also really appreciated the attention given to social anxiety and could really relate to some of Wesley's troubles with public settings and how its effects can trickle down in other areas such as with personal relationships. (also victor and violet's relationship was so heartwarming i can't- )

Overall, this is definitely a comfort read and I can foresee myself rereading this when life goes bad. In fact, I read this after a bad interview and omg some of the lines in this book had me cACKLING and laughing even as I fell asleep!!
