This YA novel was pretty excellent, it wasn’t just a fun little light read, like some are. It really captured a bunch of feelings, both the happy and the sad.
I really adored the family in general in this novel, even though they had their difficulties and differences, it was so nice to see a family come together and make up for all the time they have lost.
I loved that the author included some sapphic romance in it, it wasn’t the main plot of the novel, which I also thought was nice. The romance in itself was very cute and adorable, but there were the sadness to the whole coming out and getting caught with the same sex, which gave some angst to the novel.
They mystery in this novel wasn’t really was I thought about or like really noticed, it definitely made something to the story and it made people think about what really happened, but it didn’t do much for me.
Overall, I really loved this novel, it was funny, heartfelt, good writing and I also really loved the narrator.
