I'm not gonna say that I stayed up until 5AM reading this book cover to cover but... I did. I did stay up.

I was having trouble sleeping and I had this book on my kindle for a while now and decided to finally give it a try and boy, was I in for a ride! This book is really well written from the POV of the main character, Megan. She's a sweet girl but she can't speak, mostly due to trauma. I like the characterization of the therapy process and I'm very happy they included that in. Her relationship with Jasmine is very cute but the
Spoiler moment when she says that she killed Hana and Jasmine just freaks out, without even listening, is too hurting. I mean, she's dating this girl and she knows her and she hears her say that she thinks she killed someone, knowing full well that she spent months not speaking due to trauma, and she doesn't listen? She doesn't try to reason with it? And just leaves? That makes no sense to me, but I understand why the author did it, since it was necessary for that finale moment
.

The book is a nice and fast read, very simple but very cute and with a very nice depiction of f/f relationship in teen years. Loved the supporting mother btw! :)
