Honestly this book has a a lot of ups and downs but I overall enjoyed it. There were two character I loved in the book which was Will and the protagonist’s (Naomi) Dad. While the character I disliked the most was Ace her boyfriend, with his hyper sexuality. How he acted hit really close to home with a toxic relationship I had in junior year of high-school. But other than that I liked how the end ended. No rushing things along, just nice quiet peace.

It was fine. Overall I enjoyed it less as the melodrama increased. This is for a much younger audience than I expected. It's also funny how late 2000's technology really pulls me out of reality. This book came out when I was a senior in high school so the technology makes sense to me, but anyone younger than their late 20s wouldn't understand how you'd forget to charge your cellphone, or why they're using film cameras. I also don't think I would have enjoyed this as a senior in high school as the main character makes some pretty bad decisions, but I guess that's the entire plot.
