This is the first book I've read by Abby Jimenez and I see why she has such a following. I loved the characters and story from the beginning. There is humor yet there are many serious topics included in this storyline. The author did a beautiful job weaving the darker topics into the friendship and romantic elements. I really enjoyed the direct honesty between Emma and Justin. At times, Emma's steadfast allegiance to her mother really got to me, but, the author made it right. I will definitely put Abby Jimenez's other books on my list to read.
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Toxic relationship, Vomit, Grief, Death of parent, and Abandonment
