I was recommended this book by my aunt, whose basically a sister to me, and I am so glad I took her recommendation because this book was phenomenal. I loved the trauma bonding that was done and how vulnerable Katie was during the whole novel. She just wanted a friend and would do anything to keep the only one she had. 

Teenage years are weird and difficult, I can’t imagine what it was like for Tilly. She had so many traumatic events happen to her before she turned 18. I loved her drive and how she just wanted to make a name for herself and be loved by everyone, since her mother couldn’t (which is so sad, but so relatable for so MANY people). The one thing I hated about Tilly was that she was so arrogant and blinded by her own drive. 

The climax of this book felt like it was always going to come sooner , rather than so late in the novel. Every time that they drifted apart, because of life and how life changed for them both so differently, I felt like that was going to be the breaking point that broke their friendship up. But the actual event was JAW DROPPING. I’ll be the first to admit, I hated Tilly after the event, but god the way that she made up with Katie after ykw was so sweet and made me bawl. 

I recommend this to any and everyone. I have friends who don’t read whatsoever and they love this book. This is definitely a wonderful read.

Rarely do books move me to tears. I was choked up for the last 100 pages or so.
