It’s because of books like these exist which is why I still pick up a YA book even though I am 26 years old. I LOVED this book and its set of characters SO MUCH! It was fun, crazy, full of teenage second hand embarrassment moments, thoughtful, giggles and laughter, best friends and long time and new crushes. You know when I love a YA book to its bits? When it shows the protagonist and its main side characters as real flawed teenagers who make mistakes but own and learn from them, with stories about how sometimes at a young age, one privileged and middle class teen can feel like The Atlas. It was about learning to move on from the difficult moments in life, with knowing that life will throw a curveball again but somehow we will learn to get up. Books are like these are a comfort!
