This book is REALLY good!

I have several point I want to discuss. First of all, the main character. In the beginning of the book, she reminded me a bit of Spencer from the Pretty little Liars tv show and I connected with her really well. I felt everything she felt in this book, from doubts and thought to her crush. I don't often crush on fictional boys (I have the best one in real life ), but this one stole a piece of my heart.

Most contemporary novels evolve around this crush. He plays a big role in this book, but I feel like this book evolves more about Andies whole person, including her relationship with her father, how she is still coping with losing her mom, her friends, her future plans with life.. And therefore I think this book reflects a person much better than the crush-focussed books.

I like how this book lets you feel how hard relationships with parents can be. It lets you see that you need friends with whom you can talk about small stuff when big stuff is happening, but how it is also important to be able to talk about big stuff - while they are happening or randomly. it lets you see how having a crush is different from loving someone. It lets you see what friends can mean to you - and what it means to grow up.

I've read contemporarys before that I've rated 5*. I've read contemporaries before that handle more than just a boy, like [b:Love & Gelato|25756328|Love & Gelato|Jenna Evans Welch|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1452081385s/25756328.jpg|45600264]. But I have not read a contemporary that so completely shows a life.

This is the first Morgan Matson i've read, but more will definitely follow!
