This made me teary. I really enjoyed this. It was more sweet but I expected that but it was perfect for the story had it been nay spicier it would have ruined the emotional development. On a representation stand point I loved the touch on how words can hurt more then you realize but it is OK to take time to work things out.

I like the mystery of the MC and I loved that I thought I figured it out and as not fully correct. I also loved the sex in this and how it tied into the character growth and even the plot to a certain extent. There is slight consent ish problems but it small and the Male lead dose say he would stop if she actually asked for it.

I love this book for the main message but also the under messages I was able to pick up as an adult. I also loved as a writer the message of storytelling and how it is apart of who we are. I defiantly think this is a upper middle grade though I also don't read many middle but it tackles some thought concepts.
