** This was read as an ARC through a giveaway
This was a great read- while at points the writing was a little novice the characters and dynamics more than made up for it.
This follows August and Benny, twins, as they prepare to leave highschool and move on with their life. And with no spoilers, this was a devastating read at times, pulling on my heart and making me cry at more than 1 point. August is a fantastic fmc and I love that she got to be a mess in an understandable and relatable way. Benny and Warren were great too, and the small romance here really worked.
Spoiler territory beyond this point!
The author does a great job at making August's grief over her brother real, and the feelings towards an abusive parent struck as very realistic.
This was an excellent debut novel!
