I wish I had been able to read this in high school!

I feel like everything is captured perfectly, from high school love to dealing with grief. Also, the element of grieving before you’ve even lost them. I loved Avery being able to connect with Mama Letty. The beach trip was absolutely beautiful.
There’s also this strong message of being who you truly are. Really enjoyed this!
