It was good. I was really confused at the end and I had no idea what was going on lol. I felt like it happened so fast and I had to keep going back to read what happened and I was still confused. I did like the characters though here and there.

I enjoyed the book honestly! It was a quick cute coming of age story! I loved the plot of her grandma and everything like that. It was just a nice simple read which I enjoyed. I loved how much we got to see her grow and overcome her fears! I would recommend reading it if you like Y/A. :)
