First, I would like to thank Netgalley, the author and publisher, for the chance to read this book; I appreciate it!

So I rated this three stars, and there are several reasons why I think this book is below the age of 'Young Adult'; I genuinely believe this is more of a middle-grade book. As a 25-year-old, I found it challenging to get into this book. It had a wonderful nostalgic vibe of New England Falls, and that was its shining moment for me. As someone who has never watched Gilmore Girls, I cannot tell you whether that was the vibe. The characters were WAY too underdeveloped for me, which is one thing I cannot do when reading a book. The mother was more of a friend than a mother. Lucy was far too irritating about everything, and I have no idea how her friends handled her for as long as they did. But as someone who remembers their teenage years vividly, I definitely had my Lucy moments. The story follows Lucy, the daughter of a woman who owns the local coffee shop in town and has a deep-seated hatred for the over-commercialized Pumpkin Spice Lattes (which very quickly can be made with natural products rather than fake stuff), but I get it. It was a bit like 'I'm not like other girls,' which turned me off. She realized that the new cute student had moved to the area because his parents owned a hugely popular coffee chain location, and Lucy automatically assumed the worst about them. Cue a series of one-sided dislikes to slight romance. All in all, it was a great ambiance but definitely not a book that I would have picked up for myself. It would be perfect for someone in late middle and early high school!
