4.5

This was such a fun, quick read. Coming of age stories can get a bit redundant, but this one felt fresh. The character development was excellently written and well-paced (I find a lot of the time in YA novels that this gets rushed to the point that it isn't believable), and I absolutely loved Ever, Sophie, Rick and Xavier. 

The friendship between Ever and Sophie was so perfectly imperfect and I enjoyed reading through their ups and downs. Really all of the relationships, romantic and friendly alike, gave me all the feels in all the best ways. 

One of the major themes in this book is forgiveness, and I really appreciated how it was handled in such a moving and reflective way without coming across as too corny, especially in regards to Ever's tense relationship with her parents.

I'm excited to see the film adaptation and read the companion novel following Sophie and Xavier!

I really enjoyed the romance, plot twists/unexpected events, discussion of racism, and things a lot of Asian-Americans (youth) experience.  I could NOT stop making up an AU of Ever being an anti-hero/villain. 😈
