I can tell you I didn’t like this book and it would be a lie. It was cheesy and just a stereotype fr fr but it also was honest and I appreciate that. I liked the music references and the Golden Girls references and I get the anger. It was an emotional ride throughout and it was so nice seeing someone decide to grow into a better person. 
While I do think everything was wrapped too neatly into a bow at the end I also love cheesy endings so I have to give it credit lol. 
Good book but glad I didn’t buy a physical copy tbh.

I was a little worried at first, seemed maybe a little corny. But it quickly turned into a charming coming of age novel.

I loved it!! Listened to the audiobook in one day. I couldn't put it down. Wes' journey of self discovery was beautifully done. Very sweet story. Highly recommended the book/audiobook!!

**Thank you to Anthony Nerada and Netgalley for the ARC**
