I was very excited for the representation in this book, and I will say that it was good it just didn't hit the spot for me. Only thing is, it does take more than half the book to get to what's said in the blurb (that's a first for me!), but maybe it's just the blurb that should be rewritten. I will say that even though Kat's personality was pretty far from my own, and I found her a bit difficult to relate to, I still liked her as a compelling and interesting character. Also, I really enjoyed the focus on her photography as an art, as well as how that brought Kat and her friends together. It reminded me of my friend group. Either way, I do recommend it as a book, just not a new favorite.
