“I’m all the things I’ve had to become.”

I'd like to thank Simon & Schuster for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Brynn was an amazing main character to read about. Bethany's writing style immediately immerses you into the story and its characters. I felt very connected to Brynn and was rooting for her throughout her journey. My favourite aspect of this book was the relationships. I loved reading about how Brynn's connection to her family and friends grew and developed throughout the course of the story. I especially liked reading about Brynn and her dad. They have such a strong connection, which is so heartwarming. The plot was well-paced and fit the tone of the book perfectly. However, I would have liked for the ending to be a bit more drawn out. While this book does focus on serious topics, it's also filled with humour that made me smile, like Brynn's sarcasm! And the romance was adorable!
