I started reading this a long time ago and got bored. So I decided to pick it up again and in one day I read 299 pages. Now it's not the best book its also not the worst eithier. But there's something in this that just made me kept going going and genuinely had me hooked I can't explain why. 

This book does go through suicide attempt. (Accidental) 

I thought the ending was cute but I thought it would of been better. Like I'm happy for the family but is that it ??

Parts in this book had me 😶😲 gobsmacked and shocked! Like what 🤯🤯 

Overall it had me hooked! 

Onto the next 😚

I liked this book, it’s got a few flaws however. one main one was the amount of incest involved, it was a bit offputting. however, it was still a good read.

This one was definitely on the YA end of the CoHo spectrum. I think I would’ve liked it more as a teenager myself. 

I struggled between being annoyed with the main character and wanting to give her a hug. A lot of the commentary in this one is too heavy handed, which is often one of my complaints with CoHo books. Maybe teenagers need it. 

It’s somehow both extremely quirky and truly sad. I don’t really feel affection toward any of the characters, and the entire plot was them working through their own issues. But it was interesting at the end of the day. Hard to describe how I feel about this one.

If you’re thinking about reading, look up the content warning list. The “steamy” scenes were extremely mild but there’s quite a bit about suicide and depression, amongst other things.

MINOR SPOILER ->

Great book ,a good few plot twists which is always a plus but on many occasions religion has been discriminated against by the characters in this book.Near the end of the book it became quite cringey by the way characters would talk (flirt) with eachother.Apart from the above it was an easy book to get through and I would recommend.
