I did enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed Delilah Green Doesn't Care and Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail so if you read & enjoyed the other Bright Falls books, I'd recommend checking this one out. The main reason it didn't get the 5 stars the other books got is that I felt the family elements Iris dealt with were not addressed in the end and as a reader, I was a little disappointed by that. Otherwise, I enjoyed reading about Iris & Stevie's relationship and I'm glad Stevie at least got a scene dealing with her friend's behaviour in the end. Just would have liked that for Iris and her family as well.
