It took me a little longer to get into compared to Lynn Painter’s other books. But then found myself enthralled with the friendship between Bailey and Charlie, really picturing them and myself in the scenes with them. Overall a fun read!

This book and its characters really grew on me by the end. At the beginning, I struggled with the cynicism of MMC Charlie and the whininess of FMC Bailey, but their character development and friendship over time was lovely. I felt very sorry for Bailey as

a child of divorce who had two selfish (in different ways) parents

- some of that, especially with the subplot relating to her mother, was handwaved away. This book kept a lighthearted tone despite some of the serious subject matter, and the wide variety of side characters worked well. I didn’t like it as much as the last Lynn Painter book I read, but I still enjoyed it.

This is concerned Teen Fiction-but I wouldn’t let my younger (14yo) teen read it. I know she’s heard the language before but she doesn’t need to read so much of it.
