This wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it! It was fast-paced and engaging, and I liked the friendship between the girls. My only criticism was that the other characters' POVs felt unnecessary and randomly thrown in. We could have easily learned the information about the other characters' pasts through Ivy's conversations with them. The only other POV I thought was necessary was Lydia's at the end.
