Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Full review closer to publication date.

I would like to preface this review with: I feel misled. This book is marketed as though it is a mystery. It’s listed on Goodreads with “Mystery” as a subgenre. Marketing a book is incredibly important, and for people like me who know what kind of genres they enjoy, this is frustrating. It also causes people who don’t want contemporary to read this book and end up with not great reviews because, well, it’s not what they expected.

The way each of the girl's mental illnesses is written feels well researched and well-considered. I felt that was well done and worth noting. Moira actually has character growth, albeit a bit suddenly. It felt as though she worked through her grief rather quickly to conveniently wrap up the book, which was a bit frustrating. As often happens with books like these, the romance in it was completely unnecessary. Moira was just learning how to have friends, I don’t think navigating a romantic relationship was necessary.

All in all, this was a 3.5 out of 5 stars for me.
