Quite a challenging read. Not so much because of the step family vibe, but more because of a young lady who was quite impressionable and ending up in the situation she was in. Very sad beginning. But the ending was quite sweet. Don't get what everyone sees in Uncle Jake, I was rooting for Noah.

I loved loved LOVED this book. I think it was written in such a thoughtful way. For example, it is clear that the FMC is on the curvier side, but it is written into the text in such a way that normalises this trait for an FMC.
Also, the way in which the MCs interact with each other was just *chef's kiss*.
There are elements of gaslighting (not between the MCs) and low self-worth that some may find triggering, so please check trigger warnings before reading - mental health matters.
The character development was just amazing. This is the first of Cate's books that I have read, but it won't be the last.

Just couldn't get into it. The characters were to prim and proper and just seemed too flat. It had such good reviews so I tried, I really did try but it just isn't for me.
