This one has my heart. Both Emma and Justin are such gorgeous characters, this felt like I was observing a conversation between best friends; kindness, empathy and understanding forming the foundation of a budding friendship tinged with romance. There are complex, sensitive issues discussed in the book- the author sets out trigger warnings in the beginning so please do check these. Maddy, as a supporting character, was the supportive friend we all need to be there as a beacon of light when we find ourselves small, in a dark space. Such an easy read and probably the easiest 5 star I have ever given to a book. Becoming a huge fan of Abby Jimenez, I want to pick up Part Of Your World next after hearing great things.
