This book was good! I also was not expecting the plot twist that occurred.💔My main take away is that you’re never sparing anyone’s feelings by pushing them away because it’s what YOU think is best for THEM. If you have something you THINK they’ll look at you differently for or would be “giving up”, then be honest and upfront (no matter how embarrassing or hard it may be) and let THEM make their own decisions. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and feelings, if they decide they’d still like to be with you or apart of your life after your “confession” then so be it.

This is my original review from when I first read the paperpack:

This book started out light and funny and cute. Then it got deep. I couldn't put it down. Then I finished it and it made me moody and sad because lots of it hit way too close to home. Had I known some of the triggers would I have avoided reading it? Maybe. But maybe not. Sometimes we need to read the hard books. Sometimes we need to read the books that make us cry.
