What a unique and emotional story! I laughed, I audibly gasped, I teared up, and just fell in love with this story. It was so much deeper of a story than I expected and I really enjoyed it. The only thing was that a few moments I really got mad at the characters and their choices and that kept it from being a 5 star read, but it definitely was a great book. Definitely some heavier themes in this that are spoilers.

This started as a 3.5 for me, but some very powerful and well written scenes in the second half of the book moved the needle.

A step above the romantic comedy and chick lit stories that have flooded bookstores and social media. Center explores family and friendship, trauma and healing, and how the stories we tell ourselves impact decisions in ways large and small.

5.0

I just love this book so much. I love Sam and her growth as a person. I love Duncan and his work to get back to himself. I love that it takes place in a school. I love Alice and kind of want a book with her as the main character. While this book has a lot of emotional parts, it is ultimately a feel-good read.
