trigger warnings: death of parent, drug abuse mention, underage drinking mention, foster care, homophobia, negligent parent
This is the most quintessential mid 2010s book ever. I relived high school through this (sans the LA vibes). I loved the slow burn and I loved the friendships. I also loved how the main character was technically a supporting character in Ava’s main character life story. This really felt like what most books with “quiet and quirky girls” aspire to because it’s a slow dawning that she’s not actually the lead in her own book. Really well written. Overall I was a bit bored but the merit of this book is undeniable.
