4.5

I’d give it a 4.5. The relationships Maddie experienced with her family felt so raw and beautiful. I loved that she saw their flaws but still loved them while learning about herself. 

The romantic relationships didn’t add as much to the story as I would’ve guessed for the all the pages dedicated to them - but still enjoyable.
