This was enjoyable m. I didn’t really know what this was about when I picked it up so it was a little confusing because you are just dropped in. The first 90% is basically just a coming of age story about friends and first love. Which was enjoyable. I thought way it was written(verse) was good, it made it go by fast. As for the last 10% something happened that kind of came out of no where and it was serious which I wasn’t expecting.
