I thought this was a great coming-of-age story about body image issues and acceptance; exploring your sexuality; and trying out new things.
Lily's anxieties about getting out of her comfort zone, moving away from home, and wondering how anyone could like the real her were so relatable and authentic. I also found her conflict of choosing between the safe relationship between Cal and the scariness of changing the relationship with Cassie believable.
I would've liked to have seen more happen with the posters subplot as that felt underdeveloped, but generally I found this book an enjoyable summery read.
