I’m really struggling with deciding what to rate this one right now but for now I’m going with 4 stars? The beginning of the book was very slow but once I got into it, I didn’t want to put it down! My main issue is that I really hated Sonya about 95% of the book and I had such a hard time rooting for Coley & Sonya to end up together even though I knew I was supposed to. Like my favorite parts of the book was when Sonya was at dance camp and Coley was able to start loving herself and trusting her dad and finding new friends. I kind of feel the same way I did about the movie Happiest Season, like I loved it but Sonya was Harper and Coley was Abby and both Coley & Abby deserved so much better than Sonya & Harper? And like a lot of the reason Sonya was the way she is makes sense and I felt bad for her but she was still ultimately awful? I don’t know, the four stars is mainly because I love Coley and she deserves the world 🤷🏻♀️
