Thank you to Netgalley and Penguin for a copy of this book.
This debut, angsty, YA novel is based on the music video of Kiyoko's song, Girls Like Girls.
It's summertime and 17 year old Coley is new in town, having just lost her mother. She's dealing with reconnecting with her father who she hasn't seen in 14 years.
When she meets Sonya, it's instant attraction, but is Sonya ready to admit her feelings?
This book deals with several hard hitting topic. Coley and her father's blossoming relationship was heartwarming.
My main critique is that it was too short as I felt like some things could have been explored more.
All in all an excellent debut, looking forward to more of Kiyoko's work.
