General description: Coley has to uproot her life after her mother's traumatic passing. Coley goes to live with her dad who's been absent her entire life. Coley has to escape the house and entires into the small town life. She turns into the cool crowd: SJ, Brooke, Trenton, Alex, and Sonya. Sonya and Coley have an instant connection that neither are particularly sure about wanting to explore or bring to the surface, but will their tumultuous relationship result in love or heartbreak?
The good:
- Fast paced
- I loved the group dynamic and found family vibes
- I was invested in Coley as a complex character and found her refreshing as a YA lead
- I love the representation that's in this book as well!
The loss of a star:
- The ending seemed extremely rushed. I was left with a ton of questions in an unsatisfying way. Honestly, if there is a sequel, I'd bump my rating up half a star knowing we'd be exploring Coley, Sonya, and the group even more.
Overall: pick this book up for a nice summer sapphic read!
