This book wasn't really what I expected. It is sapphic, but the romance is drawn out and only happens at the end. That makes the book feel drawn out even though the storyline isn't slow. I found that some of the characters were a bit annoying and some of their personalities/characteristics weren't clear.
Also, I found the book a bit cringy in some places with the author writing 'LOL' in all caps.
In my opinion, this book had good potential but it just wasn't great.

Phoebe is just proper funny, I'm genuinely obsessed with her. Overall, a really nice, fun read about moody teenage girls, cats and friendships.

Minor: Death of parent
Mother is a member of a organisation similar to Doctors Without Borders and is in a war zone for the majority of the book. She goes missing part way through the book.
