A very sweet coming of age book. But to me just sweet. Maybe a bit cringe for me at times so perhaps I would’ve enjoyed it more if I was a teenager. Still very lovely just not wowed by it.

Life's too short to read boring books (perhaps this just wasn't for me or perhaps I'll give it another try in the future)
