The Other F-Word by Natasha Friend
3.0
I don't know where to start with this book. First of all this is more of a 3.5 star rating. I enjoyed it more than I didn't enjoy it but there are some issues.
I love most of the characters in the story, the relationships that build, the back stories as well were told quite well.
But
I hate Hollis! Its hard to be invested in a story when its a split perspective and one of then you really don't like. On the flip side I love Milo.
There were too many typical YA tropes:
-mean girl use to be be best friends
-the first guy introduced (not Milo) ends up with the main character
-the parents being cool about something no parent in real life works agree too because it serves the story line.
And the ending.......i don't know if I loved it or hated it. Too simplistic or left everything up to the readers imagination.
