i liked the beginning, and i loved the end.
the middle was really good as well, at times it felt a little slow but that is partly my fault because i took a week break in the middle of reading to read something else.
but overall LOVED THE TAYLOR SWIFT REFERENCES.
cornelia street!
part of why i loved this book so much is i was very recently in NYC and so i could picture the scene very clearly. emmitt is a cutie pie even if he was a flirt and i liked the romance. but i looovved the other conflicts. friendship, family (although this one didn't get resolved how i thought: the flashbacks/callbacks to how their family used to be was really bittersweet because yeah but over that)
very good representation (both characters poc!) and the side characters (lgbtq+ rep!) and real, honest problems. love.
and the TAYLOR SWIFT REFERENCES.
oh and he put on her seatbelt for her (romantic.)
and then booked out the movie theater for her (and put on her favourite movie oh and did i mention he hates movies)
the one thing i will say is the resolution felt a teeny bit rushed for MINA AND HER SISTER. and i didn't cry and i thought i would SORRY GUYS I KNOW IT'S SO BAD TO RATE A BOOK BASED ON IF IT MADE ME CRY OR NOT BUT I CRY EASILY SO IT'S NOT A HARD RATING.
but the epilogue was sooo good. i want that fanart. i was picturing and SHEESH
keep it up tashie! <3
