This book was not really what I expected but I loved it! It was very emotional and deeply about mother-daughter relationships as much as it was about romance. It was a really interesting story of womanhood and woman relationships (in truly all aspects). My biggest note is that the ending felt a bit unfinished, mostly between the friends! I want to know what happened with them in the end and a little more of a wrap up for Anna would've been nice too. But overall I was very pleasantly surprised by this book and it tugged on my heartstrings a LOT. Also there should def be trigger warnings at the beginning of this book so I will add them to this review

This brings together so many of my favourite tropes (fanfic or otherwise). I was crying and laughing throughout the whole thing, and my heart was jumping each time they almost kissed.

I expected this book to feel a lot more like the millions of fanfics I’ve read with this exact trope. But it ended up feeling more like your usual ya contemporary novel. However, I still really loved it. Even if the trauma and angst threw me off a bit at the start, I grew to love this story. 
There was so much tension. Jesus, those girls really just danced around each other for years. It made my slow burn loving heart very happy. 
Anyway, Penny and Tate are amazing and I’d like to throw Lottie from a very high building :)
