Read this as the first part of a summer reading swap I'm a part of at a local bookshop, and it's definitely outside of what I normally read. But, I found myself enjoying it more than I expected! April has such a distinct voice throughout, and you find yourself rooting for her through everything.

This book definitely features the found family trope, which is one of my favorites. I loved the people April meets on her journey, and couldn't help but be frustrated when she kept leaving them behind. Like, I get it, but still. Let yourself be happy April! 

It's a book I'd never have read without this swap, but I think I'm glad I read it!
