There was a lot of substance to it which I enjoyed. For the most part the characters where well built and likeable, though I found some were a bit much. I appreciated Liz's growth through the story and how she came into her own. I feel like I would have wanted to be friends with her in high school. The friendships felt believable, they were complicated and messy, but spoke truth to that.
What I really liked most about this story was Liz and her journey, she was determined and showed a lot of growth and strength and being true to herself.
Certain parts didn't sit right with me. Parts felt forced or unnecessary, and I just couldn't accept that.
Overall, I think this is a worthy YA that I would recommend.

It deals with the death of the mother of the main character. The family has a genetic disease that comes up. There's some queerphobia in the school, but nothing violent.lennie_reads's review against another edition
