First, I picked this up thinking it was a romance, and it is not. Yes, there is a romance and it is important, but I didn't find it to the be the "central" part of the story. Rather, this is a lovely and sometimes hard-to-read story of a young woman struggling with imposter syndrome, self-harm, unstable relationships with her parents, and general uncertainty about her life and its trajectory. (That makes the book sound dark, but it is not! Just realistic.) My favorite part of this story was Grace's group of friends, who were absolutely delightful though not without their own flaws and struggles. Recommend, especially for other young women going through transitory periods in their lives.
