If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo

emotional hopeful sad

4.0

A story this is at times heartbreakingly sweet and others just plain heartbreaking. We are following Amanda to her new city, new school, and new living environment as she moves to live with her dad for the first time in 6 years. Hesitant to trust people after past experiences, she eventually makes friends, dates, and starts gaining a lot of confidence. 
 
There are a lot of hard times that are discussed or shown in flashbacks as well as her dealing with conflicts in the present day so there are a lot of emotional scenes interspersed with the funny ones. Some of those scenes were difficult to listen to and I definitely almost cried on my lunch break so take a small tissue warning as well.
