🌟4.5🌟 An incredibly moving and powerful book. It's informative, captivating, and features three dynamic young women whose friendship we get to see shift, blossom, and solidify throughout the journey of the book. This book does not shy away from the reality that is living in certain parts of America where strict abortion/anti-women laws are present. I'll probably re-read this book at some point in the future, especially since it's a fairly quick book that packs and a meaningful punch.

🌟3.5🌟 A solid book about friendship and how our friends can definitely influence and change us. I hear a lot of amazing things about the author so I was hoping for a bit more. I don't know. The characters could be very annoying in the beginning (especially July) and the first few chapters were very repetitive, in terms of conversation. I'm definitely interested in picking up another book by this author and seeing what I think.

🌟3.5🌟

This book was absolutely incredible! I loved the budding friendship/relationship between Oscar and Ruby. The female friendship between Ruby and Jules is also one of the best friendships I've ever seen depicted in a book. This contemporary isn't all fluff and love -- real-world issues are talked addressed head-on (race, privilege, etc), and I think the author gave a lot of care and detail to these issues. This book has a lot going for it, and I feel so fulfilled after finishing it. I'll definitely be looking into more books by Jenn Marie Thorne.

🌟4.5🌟 REALLY EXCELLENT BOOK! The characters are refreshing, relatable, and the storyline is perfectly paced. I'm excited for more work by Jay Coles.
