This is a really emotional story about two young women who fall in love after traumatic pasts. While I did enjoy it, I had trouble feeling connected to the characters and much preferred the other book I have read by Nina LaCour, We Are Okay. 

I felt that this novel started strong, and then the middle was far too meandering. I did love the conclusion. I am sure that the hype around this book played into my experience; this falls into the underwhelmed category for me.
