5.0

This book fully encapsulated the high school experience. There was so much nostalgia and drama throughout. I love how real these teenagers are. 

I definitely felt for our MC. Friends/relationships and all of the social confusion that comes along with them can be hard to navigate, let alone on top of trying to keep your grades up AND your family happy. 

It made me happy that Jessie found her people in the end though. 

I absolutely saw my younger self in her. And this book really helped heal my inner teen a bit.
