Childhood bestfriends from rival shop owner families both want more than friendship but their ability to communicate and their families get in the way.
The main characters were a little too squeaky clean for me. Did they ever do anything wrong? The two most altruistic teens of all time with the inner thoughts of angels. Not super believable. The pacing was also kind of off for me.
Thank you to penguin teen and netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
