i spent 75% of this book thinking it was a cute, easy read. only for it to rip my literal heart out in the last 100 pages. i had to close the book on my train to stop from breaking down in tears. 

this book is beautiful. i fell in love with every character and each of their journeys. a gorgeous exploration of friendship and found family, alongside such a vivid setting. 

i did find the romance way too tropey at times but i was also rooting for them with everything in me!!
