Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Teen for providing an arc copy of this book.

OMG, this book is absolutely fantastic in every imaginable way! Each character has a unique and rich back story that captivates from the first page.

When I say I was getting emotional 10 or 15 pages in, I mean that. Amy-Rose was the first character I connected to in the story, and she remained my favorite throughout. I felt like I got a really good sense of each girl and loved seeing them grow and learn new things about themselves and the people around them. Also, I can’t lie I am a sucker for some good romantic drama. 

I felt the love and chemistry of every single couple in this book. The moment each couple interacts, there are fireworks coming off the page.

Also, the ending absolutely wrecked me, and I will not be getting over that cliffhanger for a long time. I was whole hearty and emotionally lined by the author.

Overall this is a captivating story about 4 strong young women trying to figure out their way in the world when the world and people around them expect something different.
