I’ve never really had a book hit me so hard. I don’t know if it’s because of where I am in my life right now, but this book got the tears out of me. Harriet was such an amazing protagonist, and her struggles were so real. From the ones from her relationship with Wyn, to the ones from her friendship with Sabrina and Cleo, to the one with her family. There were so many things touched upon in this book that resonated with me strongly, and it made my heart hurt in the best way. I definitely can’t wait to reread this, and I’m so happy with how things ended for Harriet. 
A lesson I’ve struggled to learn this year is something things really do change, and that’s okay. Seeing them grapple with this and resolve it as well was inspiring. Similarly, the resolution between her and her mother warmed my heart. So many people in life do what they think others want for them. We are all just trying to be happy.
