This book was a nice solid read about girl friendship that really made my heart pretty warm.

Spoilers about why I read it (queer read) though, which is important for folks who are more invested than I was, and some commentary surrounding that:

Bo and Agnes DO NOT date even though it reads as like really homoerotic and with a lot of sexual tension; there's even a line where Agnes sort of thinks about Bo being bi and is like 'it wasn't something I had considered' and I was like OH MY GOD but no, alas, no dating, and while Agnes gets a sex scene with a male character, Bo's 'dating' is left to a single chapter at the end. She IS named as bisexual, though, and she does end up with a girlfriend so? idk, just something to think about. We can't do all things in all stories and I get that but MAN are we missing a 'sweet girl and a girl from the wrong side of the tracks fall in love' lesbian story.

I will also say that the ending felt pretty rushed, especially the final few chapters--like we bumped up against a space limitation and had to wrap up the story quickly. But it was a cute and fluffy story about girls growing up and learning how to be themselves and that was nice, so if you're looking for a quick feel-good read, this is a pretty good start!
