This book wasn't really what I expected. It is sapphic, but the romance is drawn out and only happens at the end. That makes the book feel drawn out even though the storyline isn't slow. I found that some of the characters were a bit annoying and some of their personalities/characteristics weren't clear. 
Also, I found the book a bit cringy in some places with the author writing 'LOL' in all caps. 
In my opinion, this book had good potential but it just wasn't great.

Phoebe is just proper funny, I'm genuinely obsessed with her. Overall, a really nice, fun read about moody teenage girls, cats and friendships.

This is a lovely story of friendship, family and romance set mostly in a charity shop. I loved all the characters but Phoebe and Kate especially. I didn't want to put this one down.
