Obviously written for teenage readers, but a message that can resonate no matter how old you are. Very teeny and YA, but I liked the characters explored, it felt like it could be a teen coming of age film. 
Emily was a great character, so tough and sure of herself and confident, and seeing her grow into herself even more throughout the book was great to see. I loved the relationships explored with her friends and parents, and with Joe as well. 
I wish this book could have been longer perhaps and given us more of Emily and Ravi at the end, but I understand that romance is not the focus of the book.
