Such a cute and quick read! I loved the "I've liked you all along" trope that existed between Mallory and Nolan. I found her a little insufferable in the way that all teenagers are, but it was easy to give her grace after realizing where her character arc and growth were headed. The Epilogue perfectly wrapped up this storyline.
