2.5

This was a cute YA story but tried to do too much (events, complex relationships between characters,

potential secret illness subplot

) which detracted from the central issue

the relationship between Skyler and Norah

Also a literary peeve of revealing central plot points/ background through overhearing or eavesdropping, and doing so in a cop-out way rather than a Shakespearean drama kind of way

but I think if you really liked the summer i turned pretty and want a slightly different analog this could be for you
