3.5 stars.

This was painfully-cute in the best way, the kind of book that makes you miss having someone to cuddle and/or make out with if you're (un)lucky enough to know exactly what it feels like, or makes you wish you had someone if you haven't had that experience yourself. It also has great family moments (you had me at dizygotic triplets! Identical girls and a fraternal boy — genuinely fascinating, and their relationship is so well-explored) and lots of pure wholesome friendship (complete with prank wars!) and just general cheerful ensemble moments.

There were also a few moments that were a bit cringey in the tropey-teenage-drama way, and the whole last half of the book felt like a series of unfortunate cliches (which is where it lost half a star for me). But it was a fun, light read and I enjoyed it overall.
