I originally gave this book 4 stars after reading, but upon reflection - it was poorly written and predictable. I know the whole point is supposed to be about how people grow and change but somethings stay the same but i truthfully couldn't get past the immaturity of the main character. Trying to hard to be quirky and different. I did like the introduction of mental health and family problems that felt very relatable. Overall, I sobbed like a baby at the end but definitely wouldn't rate in my recommended books.. also the tiara?
