I picked up the book with high expectations, maybe that's why it felt like it was lacking. teenage friendship, and there were some really beautiful it tried to be. It just seemed to make light of something that The book is a sweet exploration of human emotions and lines. That being said, however, the premise of the book didn't sit too well with me. It wasn't true to life, and even though the author says they acknowledge this, it seemed like could have been explored better. The ending was also a bit random and dramatic? Even though it was an alright book, and enjoyed moments, it just didn't meet my expectations. It just had so so so much potential, I'm sad it fell a little flat.
