Dirty London by Kelley York
5.0
Beautiful and heart-warming coming of age story!!
London is a wonderful protagonist. I really enjoyed her positive attitude and the way she doesn’t hold grudges when people let her down. Looking at you there, Wade… She doesn’t have it easy figuring out how best to survive high school and be true to yourself at the same time. I almost felt giddy when she made certain wardrobe changes. Seems like a small enough thing, but it really wasn't. You go girl!
One of my favorite things about this story was the romance, of course. I’m all about the hearts and flowers, the butterfly’s and the angst. I absolutely loved seeing these two girls fall for each other. Love certainly caught London by surprise, and in the sweetest way! All the feels!
It took me awhile to warm up to Jazz, London’s sister, but she grew on me and in the end she was there for London when it really counted. There’s a pivotal scene in the book that brought actual tears to my eyes. London loves her sister very deeply, and vice versa, and is very protective of her. Being a big sister myself, I could really relate to that. I loved how their relationship and its importance was portrayed in the story.
The story ends on a high note and leaves you with a smile on your face. Loved it so so much.
