Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

4.75 ⭐️ a great, heart breaking read. Lots of “locker room talk” and multiple perspectives from both adults and high schoolers. Quarter star knocked off for the ending and how Maya handled her parents, seemed a bit unrealistic to me
