I absolutely loved this book. It was a beautifully put together story of all the struggles of a girl in her senior year. Bree faces fall outs with her best friend, the struggles of prom court, first love, divorce, and anxiety. Bree is a wonderfully developed character, I see a lot of myself in her. She’s a very fun and sarcastic girl inseparable from her best friend. She’s just trying to survive her senior year with her future looming in the distance. She’s struggling with anxiety as well but doesn’t want to admit it. And this is where I really connect with Bree, besides her sarcastic sass. I recently started getting help for my anxiety. Now granted mine is a lot worse than hers, but I struggled with taking the leap to get help. But it was the best decision I ever made. So I urge any of you that are struggling with something, take the leap and get help. You’re worth it.
The only gripe I have with this book is it’s simply not long enough. I felt like the love story was a tad bit rushed, I wanted it strung out longer and I wanted to see more of them together, more of their dynamic, and more of them falling in love. What we did see however was wonderful. It wasn’t rushed or filled with clichés, it was simply natural. I felt like I was peaking behind a bush, watching a couple fall in love.
The author used a very familiar situation, senior year and prom, to teach a lesson. You can’t look at someone and understand what they’re going through so just be kind. You don’t know how hard your words will hurt someone, something you may see as a joke could be the last straw for someone. Things get better. Take it day by day because things get better. You might think they don’t but they do.
