I really liked this book! It was super cute and I related a lot to what the main character went through. Life gets tough sometimes and moving to a new state is an experience of a lifetime. The difference in the people alone is enough to shake you up at bit.

Her struggles with her dad are super stressful, and her own personal struggles are tough to. It is nice to see her overcome so much, so quickly.

Very good, easy read! Highly recommend.
