This was a phenomenal coming of age book that made me ache for everything I missed during my teenage years and articulated everything I have felt in my own life. I loved how relatable the main character was as well as how it covered outgrowing old friends and how you can get stuck acting like someone who you no longer are, despite not wanting to lose the people from your past. The book articulated wanting to grow but not lose your past self as well as being afraid of the future and going after what you want very well. Overall, I loved this book.
