Phoebe is cynical beyond her years, but I think that's what makes the romance bit so sweet when it does happen. Loved her friendships in the charity shop and lots of funny lines.

I really enjoyed this book. The book was told in a great diary type format which I always enjoy. I love a book with a flawed and honest narrator as well.
This book really had it all. A sarcastic narrator, a queer romance, a thrift shop romance, and so many cats! This book is so much fun but it also takes on series subjects like greaf and abandonment.
I really hope to see more from Brueggermann in the same vain as this book. I also can't wait to get my hands on the physical copy of this book. I mean just look at how great the cover is!

I typically don't love books that talk about sex as much as this one did, but this is the first time I have read a YA novel that does so in a way that actually felt realistic. I found the characters in this book incredibly believable and I loved the way the author addressed topics like grief, disability and sexuality so simply and effectively.

This is a cute love story, featuring a very authentic modern teenager.
Written in diary format, this covers an eventful six months in Phoebe's life. At first, given some of the things she says and thinks, I thought we were heading for a realisation of asexuality. However, she's just a nervous teen with a crush.
The writing style is light and fun. Although I don't agree with everything Phoebe did, her reasons are always clear and she's always consistent. The ending made me wonder if there might be another book planned for this series - I hope so! I'd love to read more of these characters.
All in all a great read, one I heartily recommend.

this book is so cute! i wasn’t expecting it to be written in diary font, but it was actually really good. Phoebe, the narrator, is very witty and made me laugh out loud a few times. a very cute, easy to read, queer book
