I’m living in this book at this point!!

The writing style is what really got me. It feels so alive and natural … the dialogue isn’t polished or overly “bookish”, it actually sounds like real teenagers talking. Messy, emotional, unfiltered…
There’s something about it that just pulls you in …

So far, I’m diggin’ it…

I also like that the story is set in the mid-2000s, which makes it feel a bit removed from today’s social-media world.

I like it .. The characters are very likeable and I enjoy just following them around, even though the story already touches on some pretty heavy and triggering topics!!
A really nice surprise for me was the Irish setting!!! it’s refreshing!! 😅
My only small complaint so far: the classic “perfectly beautiful main character” trope. I definitely rolled my eyes a few times during Shannon’s description…
