horrible parents

parents kicking out child , assault, harassement, violation of personal boundaries, one slightly inappropriate reaction to someone having a panick attack (out of ignorance)

4/5 stars! what a fucking banger of a book to start off the new year! I expected this to be a light, fun, fluffy read but NOPE the feels are here and they are here to stay. I loved each and every character and the absolutely amazing hopefulness that spills out from this book's ending! I did have a bit of an issue with the overall story structure - I wish that we got a bit of a prologue before the week starts so that we can see Angel with her family and learn more about her and Juliet's friendship before they meet! Nonetheless, I love this story and will definitely be re-reading it whenever I need to find something to believe in.
