Thank you to NetGalley and Scholastic for an e-ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
This book stole my heart and squeezed it, and I mean this in literally the best possible way. I mean it. The angsty teenage pinning, the awkward longing that teenagers seem to just all inherit. Their little found family that had me cackling, screaming, and crying within the same breath at times. I honestly would love to see the story continue with the side characters in this book. But gosh I relate so much to Eloise so much. As someone who was diagnosed later in life with ADHD (20), i totally understand the frustration of not understanding why you can't do things that seem so simple for everyone else to do. And I can also understand not wanting to have to take meds to function, especially as a teenager. And I'm so happy we got to see so much growth with both Eloise and Isabel. Even the background characters grew throughout the book. I truly love this book so much and highly recommend it if you want to swoon for days.
