The plot feels a little too neat, there are few surprises, but the narrative still manages to provide some heartfelt moments. I left this book feeling cleansed in a way, ready for new beginnings.

Would rate this 4.5
At first struggled with the writing style but soon got into it. Feels very normal people vibes and just writes about feeling young and trapped so well.
I did find jay completely unbearable but loved the other three.
This book solidified my hatred of blurbs this one gave away too much and just did not sell the book at all.

I think this is a nice modern read! There was depth to the characters and stories. Good writing too.

Light n airy but heavy in content. I didn’t love it but it’s bursting with nostalgia for someone else’s coming of age

a simply phenomenal debut (novel) with wonderful prose and beautifully developed characters. could not recommend more!
