desperately needed at least 1 more round of editing. pacing in the middle half (25~75% thru) is very weird. prose is juvenile but maybe that's how all late-2010s YA was? (taking notes for review 👍)

if im remembering the last chapter or so correctly, it seems our main character and her love interest (childhood best friend) are driving from NEW YORK to CALIFORNIA? which is a really very teenage decision to make and they are both 18ish. also i forgot about the tendency towards timeskips / absence of material to mark passage of time in (2010s-present?) YA novels ...

contrary to what some other reviews have said, this book is trying to show AND tell, while the two are contradicting each other. and the prose is juvenile...
