This was so so cute! I was initially drawn in by the Taylor Swift mention, but stayed for the story. Definitely a bit misleading to say it was inspired by her songs, when really it focused mainly on one song. Was a bit wary initially as well since the protagonist is so young (she’s 18, but something about young contemporary romance characters doesn’t appeal to me… but I’m probably outgrowing it is why), but honestly this was such a great coming of age story that deals with heartbreak, grief, friends/family, and of course love.
