Throughout the entire book there was not one moment I lost interest. This book was intensely honest and perfectly described being a teenager and growing up. This is one of the best executions of multiple perspectives I have read, every transition flowed and made sense. F&N's high school experience is what I always wanted, even though it was not perfect it was real. The strength of friendship is something I will always find myself longing for. 

Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS for providing me with a advanced copy to read and give my honest thoughts on!
