<spoilers> I mostly enjoyed this book and read it quickly, but sometimes I did struggle with Leah’s character slightly, and I felt there was very little character development for her and she had to change very less, whereas for Abby there was a huge amount of character change from the beginning. I also felt like there was huge ‘not like other girls’ vibes off Leah.

Also, The last half/third seemed very rushed. I just felt like a lot was left unfinished and more could have happened.
