This was a sweet and cute YA contemporary and I really appreciated the story of a girl struggling to come out of the closet in a small, country town (that’s my life!) but I also feel this book exemplified everything about why I feel I’ve been growing out of YA contemporary. All of the themes and emotional depth felt very surface level, nothing was explored in any real depth. And there were moments I felt like a real psychopath for not feeling distraught over the mother plot - not sure if this is the book’s fault or mine! This generally felt young and unchallenging - which is totally fine, this is a YA and it is not written for me, but having come back to this genre with this book after a break because I’d started getting hints of these feelings, it’s safe to say that I have pretty conclusively outgrown this genre?

this book was really hopeful and entertaining and by the end of it I was on the verge of tears. it took a little while for me to get into it at first as it started quite boring and the main character didn't seem very likeable, however by the middle of the book I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't put it down. although the plot may have a been a little predictable, it was the perfect escapist summer novel - I adored the romance and got lost in the hopes and struggles of the protagonist, Emily. I read this book nonstop in 2 days: definitely recommend.
