A light hearted summer read with found family, frienemy turned actual family, and childhood crushes turned roommates - all in just over 300 pages! While there is a more serious plot line of kidney failure/transplant malfunction - the book stayed pretty surface level with emotions for me, which made it an easy book to fly through in no time.
I had a hard time liking one of the main characters (Kinsey) due to her lack of ability to let anyone in - it seemed her phobia of loving/being loved created 90% of the conflict in this book, rather than actual conflict. I’m not a fan of the “lack of communication” being the main trope in the book.
