I enjoyed the overall plot and the storyline. I think Cook has a very good writing style. I zoomed through the book when I picked it up. Kristia is an interesting character. She requires a lot of personal growth which you can see throughout the book. It was giving very typical college freshman vibes. The time switches weren't structurally confusing but they were plotline confusing. I did not see the point or purpose of some of them; it did serve to highlight why Krista was stressed about certain issues but I think the plot could have moved forward the same without them. I enjoyed how Christianity was naturally woven into Kristia's life.

I SWEAR BY ALL THAT IS HOLY KRISTIA NEEDS TO DO BETTER ABOUT MEN. Victor was your typical college fuckboy, and I truly wanted Kristia to catch a hint. There are so many fish out here in the sea and she stuck on a guy who kissed her a few times, chall please!! The chapters were relatively long but it was not a huge problem since the book itself was very readable. I would have liked to see the book be longer for the reasons below.

The other characters need to be fleshed out better. In this edition of the book, the only purpose they served was to help guide the plot forward for Kristia. I think the actual plot of the book got lost at times, when I finished I was confused about what had been accomplished. Kristia spends all summer complaining and gripping about being poor but she manages to make it back to school with a new attitude?? I think I know where Cook was trying to go with this, that Kristia is growing into herself, and becoming her own person but the way the book ended did not give any sense or hope of that. As a reader you could not really tell that Kristia had grown at all; there was no showing character development. Kristia's self-growth needed to be highlighted more throughout the entire plot.

Bro, I swear that Kristia did not like any of her family members. I understand families can have a complicated dynamic but her internal monologue and external actions only showed disdain and annoyance with everyone. I barely saw any love between any of the characters.

The last thing I have to say was the last line of the book was not how the book should have ended unless there's going to be a sequel. I am a fan of open-ending books but no... just no.
