When they say “coming of age story” THIS is what I want!!

I really fell captivated by each of the characters. So much was fit into this book but it all really fit together well. The ending hits like a rush of adrenaline which really allows you to empathize with the MC and cheer her on.

Beautiful and lovely and great.
