It was a good read, i just flew through it. I liked the characters and i really liked the premise and the general idea of the story. However it features some very heavy topics yet puts emphasis on less important things. Sometimes the writing felt juvenile. I get that she was a kid when all that happened so she couldn't feel the full weight of everything and she's still only a teenager but she kinda just brushed over the most impactful parts that i think that could've been taken more seriously. What i really liked was that she kept a lot of her secrets and only revealed what she had to not just to other characters but also to us as readers. it felt very authentic. 

my favourite parts were when iris used the guy's ignorance on the female body as a weapon against him and when nora told iris to bury her feelings deep and wes corrected her

It was amazing, don't get me wrong, I couldnt put it down, but I really struggled with some of the language, it was kinda confusing

The setting? Somewhat interesting. The plot? Quite fascinating. The characters? Can't say I cared for them. The writing? Not good.

So basically it comes down to the writing being repetitive, sort of "childish" (can't find the right word to explain it exactly), and quite cringe at times. Which sucks because it wasn't an awful plot to follow.
