5.0

i'm not usually one to give five stars willy nilly... but this book just really struck a chord with me. sure, the relatability aspect is a huge reason why i connected with jakobson's writing so deeply, but the storyline just kept me locked in so many different ways, and i was obsessed with the characters and the nuance and i was rooting for them the whole time. it's nice too because all of the characters weren't perfect- they were fully formed people, and their interactions felt so real. amazing debut novel, can't wait to see  what haley does next!
