Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this book before release date.

This book was hard to read not because it was lacking quality, but rather because the subject matter of this story was so tough to read. This book is a pretty classic bildungsroman. We are introduced to our main character Meredith who is a high school senior, animal lover, preacher's daughter, and virgin. This book deals with super morally grey that tend to define any young person's growing up experience.

The two main strengths of this book are the quality of the writing which leads to having a main character that I, as a reader, actually rooted for through the entirety of the book. If Meredith wasn't likable this book would not have worked because damn this girl is down on her luck at lot during this book. If the writing wasn't as descriptive and imaginative as it was this book also would not have worked.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I think it is an important story for young people to have access to.
