It was a cute, easy read with great anxiety representation. I cannot imagine what it's like living with Gemma's degree of social anxiety, so I tried to give her character grace and not judge her actions too harshly. However, it felt like things weren't well balanced and there were times when I was annoyed by all the characters for various reasons.
Graphic: Mental illness and Bullying
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Car accident
