I missed out on reading this when it was really popular so I decided to give it a chance. Definitely great for its target age group but the characters could be more developed. The romance was dry and I couldn’t really get behind it because there was very little lead up. The moral struggle for Tally would have been impact for me when reading this as a teen, especially since it is about looks and appearance. I would definitely recommend this to the target YA teen
