I didn't know what I was in for with this book, but it was such a pleasant surprise. I was sucked into a world that was familar, yet distinctly different, from my own. The characters felt real and the dialogue flowed without being cringey teenage banter. It was like I was watching a show unfold more than reading a single book.
Jo was such a powerhouse. The layers of her teenage problems and emotions were honest and real. The depcition of losing a close female friend in high school was written in such a raw way that it made me reminisce on my own experiences.
Tldr; I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I cheered.
