This was a pretty short and sweet read. I related personally to a few of the issues Lily Rose had, so I really appreciated those being included. Reading about a fat main character whose whole story doesn't revolve around their weight and who's comfortable in their body was refreshing. The relationships - romantic and platonic - were cute, too!

I wished we could have delved deeper into the twin bond though; it would have been more impactful to see how close Lily and Daisy were before they began drifting apart. I also thought the random activism was kind of pointless - like it's important to talk about those things but they felt randomly placed and didn't amount to anything in the end.

Overally, it was a nice book, perfect for the summer (even if i did read it in winter).
