At first, I thought this book was a bit hard to get into, but after a few chapters, I was hooked.
This is definitely not a light read, as it goes into some hard/ heavy topics. Despite that, the book didn't feel to heavy and definitely made me chuckle a few times.
The ending felt a bit incomplete. I know Phoebe moves onto a new "era" of her life and all that, but I wished we got to see what that looked like. Perhaps a time jump to her job as a winter keeper? Or a little jump a few years into the future to check in with some of the main characters, Phoebe, Matt, Lila, Garry and Juice to see how they ended up.
