It had its ups and downs, but over all it was an enjoyable read! I do wish they had a trigger warning for some of the subject matter because it took me out of the book a few times. There is a lot of heaviness to it that I think people should be aware of before they read. 

Also, some things could have been condensed because it made the latter half of the book feel a little rushed.  I wanted to see more of the main gal thriving and wanted a little less heavy handedness of the message. I say this and I remind myself that this is for teens, not a 30 year old queer. 

Again I did enjoy it quite a bit!
