I liked the book. I think the author portrayed a lot of difficult topics well. I wouldn’t be in a rush to re-read but it was okay

4.5

The reason it’s a 4.5⭐️ for me, is because I related to this book HEAVYYYYYY. I have been in a relationship and situation similar to this and the challenges blu is going through make me reflect to the time I went through it also. This book has made me remember the growth I went through and the challenges I had to overcome and just ughhhhh, this book has a special place in my heart 😭😭🫶🏼

I’m sorry but I’m going to have to DNF this at 10%. I can’t get through the forced dialogue and I understand what the main characters are going through but the way it’s described and the way the characters hold themselves is kind of hard to get through. Blu trying to make herself be the IT girl is making me cringe and it’s really hard to get into the story because of it. I’m not one to normally DNF or post reviews but this was something I felt like I needed to say out loud per say. Maybe one day I’ll be able to give this book another chance but as of right now I have to call it quits
