Really enjoyed this one! Emma was such a dynamic character - I loved her and rooted for her, but also wanted to scream at her to go to therapy!!! Her healing journey through ptsd and her childhood trauma was truly so beautiful to watch, and I loved the way that mental health struggles were handled in this book.
And Justin was just the best. I loved his habit of sending surveys and really just putting so much thought into whatever he does. I loved the way that healthy friendships in this book are highlighted too - seeing friends who support and challenge one another, and want to see each other succeed and thrive in life 🥹 it’s just so dang sweet.
Some parts of the narration bugged me a bit (mainly the way certain side characters were voiced) so I think I may have preferred the visual read, but the audiobook was overall still very enjoyable!
