Cute. Finally, a romance that I actually enjoyed this year! It's kiiind of insta-lovey considering everything takes place in the span of a couple weeks, but the denial and longing are there so it doesn't feel too rushed. Marianne was a little too dense but I can excuse it on account of her being 17 and heavily insecure. I would have loved more detailed descriptions of Edenbrooke itself.
Moderate: Sexual assault, Kidnapping, and Grief
Minor: Gun violence and Death of parent
