This was so cute and captured really well the isolation of moving, especially around high school.

Melody grows so much throughout. In the beginning, I had to actively remind myself she's a teenager. She makes stupid choices and carelessly hurts people. She's not malicious, she's just in her own world and trying to build her own life.

It wraps up a little too perfectly, though. It's too easy and too forgiving. Teenagers should be allowed to have real fights, to go in and out with people, and see the results of that. On the other hand, there were things that never get wrapped up.

Her family is what takes it from younger YA to dead in the middle of the target age. Her relationships growing and changing with her parents and aunt really change things.

It was really interesting to see the differences in schooling, especially to the world of international schools. 

Well done on the whole.
