lowkey just wasnt feeling it. i like the concept but it wasnt executed well imo. the switch between email and real life didn’t do it for me, and some of the “emails” didnt feel like a recollection of what had happened, more like it was telling what was currently happening.

A great debut full of family drama and family history. The main character was such a realistic teen as she made teenage-like mistakes and I liked her growth throughout the story seeing her learn about her mother that she has a rocky relationship with. I also liked and thought it was a smart writing decision to have the book written in epistolary format since it has to do with the media and as she finds the diary entries that lead her to more information about her family's history. 

As this is co-written, I thought it was a unique approach because most co-written words have dual POV but this has a single POV. I'm excited to read more from these authors!
