4.0
I was between a 3.75 and 4 star rating for this book, I decided a 4 is the rating for now.
I enjoyed the story but there were some elements that needed a touch more of sensitivity, in my opinion. I have been a fan of Katherine Center’s books for a few years now and have enjoyed most of her works, so I want to give this one the benefit of the doubt.
I liked the characters, the plot, and the romance of this book. I always appreciate a found family book, especially one like this.
***Semi-Spoiler***
The main character has an eating disorder and a complicated relationship with her body and how she looks.
I have complicated feelings about the way this was handled and I believe that it could be damaging to someone who is actively working through an eating disorder of their own.
