I just have to start by saying I've been moving away from YA for a while. So when I first picked this up, I didn't realize it was YA. I figured it out pretty quickly, but I wanted to give it a shot because I liked the premise. Surprisingly, I ended up really enjoying this book. Where a lot of YA tends to just irritate me or I just can't relate anymore and lose interest. This one did the opposite and made me remember those tense, angst emotions I remember feeling as a teenager. How every little thing/emotion felt so big. I laughed out loud multiple times. The resolutions to things felt normal, and when the conversations that needed to happen did, it left me feeling like dang that was a true talk.
