The characters are all so lovable, we see very great character development, and the end is just…. Perfect. How is it so perfect?
There are so many plot twists that keep you interested and intrigued. I had to skip a page because of second-hand embarrassment, that’s how good Holly Bourne is at writing.
I would recommend this book very much so, but it does include a lot of sensitive topics that you might wanna skip/just not read the book.

The biggest warning about this book is probably the sexual content, it describes sex somewhat descriptively. Reminder to self to put in ‘sexual pages’ in desc.abby271's review against another edition

Audrey was such a strong, beautiful character to read about. She took on so much and always kept going despite how hard things were and the pressures she faced. After all she went through, she had matured a lot and so having Harry as the complete opposite was interesting. His end gesture was so beautiful 😍 I would have liked to have seen a bit more about his relationship with his parents however as it was brushed over a little, in my opinion.
Going through comparing romance films to real life romance was such an interesting take and one I’ve found myself doing a lot over the years. Holly could have easily made this a conventional HEA, but she stayed true all throughout the book, showing the real side to relationships with the arguments and insecurities as well as the good moments.
I was stuck of where to rate this, but judging it as a YA book that had all the feels - happiness, sadness, frustration and more, I settled on 4 stars. It had me reflecting back to my own teenage years too. Holly really portrayed a young teenage girl dealing with life’s issues really well.
