This book was a surprise.
Don’t let the cover and back cover fool you.
This book is deep, very emotional and hard to put down. It deals with grief, trauma, heartbreak and a tensed, profound love.

Sometimes YA hits so hard, so perfectly, that you can’t help but love it. This book had me laughing, crying, kicking my feet in excitement. Yes, it is a cute, sapphic romance, but is so much more than that.

The author does a wonderful job touching on all the hard topics: grief, trauma, ptsd, the hardships of medical needs when you’re not rich, the complications of parent-child relationships, the fear around knowing (but never fully knowing) how someone feels about you, the power of found family. 

It’s just — so good. It will make you feel all the feels - good and bad. But in such a way that has you always looking to hope. 

Definitely going to be in my top books of the year.

i love queer stories that are nuanced and about more than JUST a relationship. i knew i loved this authors work, but this book truly sealed the deal. 
penny and tate deserve nothing but love and happiness. 
docked .75 because i WIIIIISSSSSHHHH we had like? an epilogue or something. i’m not a fan of the story ending right when they come together with no final wrap up.

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
