A bit of a rough start but gradually got better and by the end I really loved it. I wasn't a fan of the present tense usage at the start but got used to it and it didn't really hinder my enjoyment of it by the end either.
Characters were likeable, lovable and realistic. Their flaws were challenged when needed and they actually demonstrated a lot of growth by the end.
