  • This is the 3rd audiobook in less than a week that I finish while I paint the house lol
  • The themes of this short book are basically grief over her grandpa, friendships and discovering her sexuality.
  • Because of the themes I am glad that I read these at the end of 2024 and not the end of 2020 because I think it would have destroyed me back then but I still got to enjoy it now and see the big picture I guess.
  • I am glad this girl does have a family that cares about her, even if they're not related by blood, it just shows once again how you can build your own family and support systems with the people around you.
  • I think it was a beautiful book, I finished it in a few hours and it was great company while painting the house so I would rate it 3.5 ⭐
