Would make a good Hallmark movie!
Was a decent/average read. 
Full of high school drama and family struggles. 
Sometimes you just need a wlw insta love story that’s just cheesy and cute.

One of the main topics discussed in the book is sickle-cell disease, an inherited group of terminal blood disorders. The MC's brother inherited it from their mother, who died due to complications of sickle cell. There are several scenes towards the end of the novel where the brother is hospitalised due to acute chest syndrome.

 “And I know then what I've always known: Campbell is never going to make a space for me to fit. I'm going to have to demand it.” 

This is a cute story with some nice characters, but it was a bit too perfect for my taste. Everything always turned out good for Liz so you could already guess how the story is going to end.
Nonetheless, Mack and Liz are an adorable couple. 
I also liked that the main character had a realistic development. She grew at her own pace and did not change her whole personality.
It was a nice and easy read with a wholesome story.
 

“I don't believe in fairy tales and love at first sight and all that, but for just a second, I think this girl and those eyes and the way her freckles dot the entire expanse of her face are cute enough to make a believer out of me.”

It doesn’t take much for a book to make me cry, ESPECIALLY if it has strong sibling ties, but this one has be tearing up again and again and again. One of the best YA books I’ve ever read.

This book was alright. It was all over TikTok last year, and I honestly think I was expecting more, it felt like The Hate U Give, which makes me think I'm not the biggest fan of contemporary novels, they feel way too big on pop culture references and trying to appeal to this generation. 
I loved Jordan in this, he was so respectful to Emme and her struggles and accepted Liz even after she had pushed him away for so long.

Freaking Gabi I knew was a bad sign, she was too good to be true

 
I could've gone without reading this one, but oh well, the more you read the more you know
