This book reminded why YA contemporary will always have a special place in my heart. It felt like I was reading a love letter to the genre. It had the tenderness, the vulnerability, the love story, the found family group of friends, and most importantly finding your place in the world. I loved everything about it. Seeing Lucy find her faith in God again which I rarely see in books and reading a whole book losing and regaining your faith was a main theme was so heartwarming. Lucy dealing with her mom having cancer again and coming to terms that her mom may never see her grow old was just wow. This book was so touching it showed me how YA can still teach me lessons and move me deeply. Now I feel like an idiot because I had this book for three years maybe it just wasn’t my time to read it until now. I’ll say that to make myself feel better.
