Did not finish book. Stopped at 71%.
This book is horrible. It repeats itself, it's not clear who the audience is, and there's fatshaming.

Not my favorite in the series. There were some things that bugged me that editing could have fixed  (very similar sentences following each other. An item that was brought by character A later was brought by character B). It's still cute though.

If you (want to) organize things in any way, shape, or form: read this book. 

Do know it's very USA centered, so not everything might be as applicable to you, but the basic message of care and connection is important for everyone.

It would have helped if the main character did not have sex with a teen.
