I absolutely adored this book and I am so grateful to have received an advance copy. As someone who is no longer a YA but who reads a lot of YA, I felt like the writing style only pulled me out of the story a couple of times. This book deals with very real issues that are happening in the world right now and it really put me into Grace’s shoes in a way I wasn’t expecting. Be ready to laugh, cry, and be blown away by this story or resilience, hope, self acceptance, and a strong determination to live life authentically, a message that everyone can use.

Fair warning, I’m reading this book out of spite.
I am pissed. I am SO ANNOYED WITH THIS STUPID BOOK. Twists are a wonderful thing, I love a good twisty twist, but it doesn’t work if it doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t work if the writing is horribly confusing. And now all I want to know is what happens next but I also don’t want to sit through another book like this at all whatsoever. This book is literally the definition of everyone sucks.
