the way this book made me blush, laugh, cry, and every emotion under the sun should be studied!!!! this is how you write a book and this being a YA book is what the young adults of our generation need!! i loved every second of awareness toward m 4.5⭐️

the way this book made me blush, laugh, cry, and every emotion under the sun should be studied!!!! this is how you write a book and this being a YA book is what the young adults of our generation need!! i loved every second of awareness toward mental health, of friendship/family & love.

this book was truly everything!!!! the way love, grief, anxiety, and depression interwined within the narrative really allowed me to take a step back and connect with the novel as more than a reader. i connected with these characters on so many different levels as a college student that has experienced all these conflicting emotions and battling anxiety and depression as well.

i loved klara she was so multifaceted and i connected with her self-awareness on so many levels she was so smart and intelligent but afraid just like any individual can be when enduring hardships. she must be protected at all costs!!!! i love her too much and how she fought so hard against her internal battles but also leaned on her family and friends to uplift her in difficult moments. the way panic attacks, anxiety, and depression were described in the novel were handled with so much care and awareness it made me appreciate this book so much more!! i loved that this story is much more than a romance novel but a love letter to all readers on finding your voice and never being afraid of failure or having real and raw emotions.

kang my sweet boy!!! he deserves everything good in the world, he cared so deeply and i just felt so sad when we got to truly know his story it made me feel proud of how he's constantly overcoming hardships and looking at the positive side of hardship (like we all should!!!) he was so funny, flirty, and caring i truly appreciated how he was so soft and sweet towards klara and really found his voice through advocation in his radio show. i loved klara and kang as a couple but also rooted for them as individual characters that were growing and experiencing all that life has to offer.

the family & friends relationship was so cute my favorite characters were definitely andy & diego because they were truly so unapologetically themselves and said exactly what they felt when they felt it. so refereshing to see klara experience these individuals in her life since they also calmed her when she was struggling or lacked to belief in her internal voice/power.

thank you atria for the arc!!! i had such an amazing time with this novel and i will forever recommend this book to all my besties, one of the best YA books i've ever read. ...more "
