I loved this!! The story arc was so great, and I couldn't stop listening to the audiobook. I loved Zin even more in this, and I'm so happy for the characters. Charm and Prim are just absolutely adorable!! 

Also, the queer rep was so sweet and I just had so much fun :)

I loved the chronic illness representation in this! This book has a nice story and life lesson to be learned from such a small book. I had a fun time reading it, and I will be reading the second one :)

Oh, and did I forget to mention that there's LESBIANS!!

Read the book along with listening to the audiobook and barely read the book by itself, so I counted the audiobook instead of the printed book :)

5.0

Another amazing book by Holly Jackson!! I had such a fun time reading this, and it felt like I was reading Good Girl, Bad Blood again! The Beginning was a bit slow, but the last 40% was unpredictable and had me screaming and crying for Bel.

I will be recommending this to everyone I know!!
