3.0

I think I might have been a little too old to fully connect with Ivy, the main character. She’s only 15, but the way she talked about time made it feel like she should have been in college, which threw me off a bit. It was a little unclear at times how old she was supposed to feel versus how old she actually was.


I also found myself wanting more backstory, especially when it came to her relationship with Ally and her friendship with Rynn. I kept feeling like I was missing pieces that would have made the emotional moments hit harder. There were definitely sweet moments, and I liked the overall concept, but I just wished for a little more depth to fully connect.
