This was such a good book.  It made me nostalgic for high school crushes and the butterflies that come along.  This book also has a lot of character depth of the MC and it spoke a lot about grief.  As someone who has also lost a parent when I was a teen this book resonated with me.  I highly recommend this for all ages.  Don't let the fact that it's a YA keep you from reading this.  I highly recommend it!

This book had me giggling and kicking my feet, I won’t lie. Some parts were really cute. My only con was how young Liz came across, despite being 17 or 18. The entire situation at the end of the book could have been easily handled if she hadn’t acted so immaturely. I just wanted a cute romance between Wes and Liz after their kiss and instead we got a build up to almost nothing at the very end
