I have been in a reading slump for four months and this is the first book that I've been able to pick up and read it the whole way through.
This book was everything that I needed. I myself have been struggling with what I am doing with my life now that I have left school, and having Milo going through the same thing has made me not feel so alone.
I had no idea this book was set in Australia going into it, and I've never actually read a book based in my own country. It was incredible, reading and seeing names of familiar towns that I have either driven through, stop at, or at least know where about it is. Nice to get away from the Americaness of most YA.
Though the start of the relationship between Milo and Layla is a bit questionable morally from both sides, I loved every page with the two of them together, even just as friends. The dual point of view was written so well, and was so distinctly different for each character which I loved. I find that most dual point view books end up seeming to similar that you can't really tell them apart.
Overall I loved this book and the ending in my eyes was perfect. It wasn't the ending that I was expecting, but it was 1000x better.
I will definitely be picking up any new YA novels that Gabrielle Tozer writes in the future.

This book was the best reminder that even when life becomes so slow that it's almost lethargic, you can change it. From the boy who didn't know what he wanted to be but ended up traveling Europe to the girl with the drug dealer boyfriend who learned to like her stepmother and start a pet-sitting business. It also showed me how it's so important to let yourself grow and not become rooted by the people you love. Love and romance, no matter how palpable at the time, will turn to regret if you let an opportunity pass by. This book showed me that and I loved it for it.
