I also really liked the family dynamics in the story. It was really interesting about how different families have different expectations and how suffocating that can sometimes be. There are enough closed doors and glass ceilings in the world. My comfort zone shouldn’t be one of them.” This book felt like a warm hug. I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say about it. I literally couldn’t put it down and managed to read it in just two sittings – I was that obsessed. This just exceeded all of my expectations and then some. A beautiful reminder of why I love YA contemporary so much.An adorable enemies-to-lovers romance unfolds as the two leads work together and get closer. Several relatable moments keep the story engaging and make the characters easy to connect with. Also, themes surrounding race, identity, dementia and bullying are skillfully woven into the storyline without making the narrative heavy or intense. However, once Quinn's journal is found towards the end of the story, my interest waned as the remaining loose ends are leisurely tied to give a satisfying ending. Racism was also a big part of the plot and I really liked how Quinn stood up for herself against her old friends and left them behind. Excuse me while I gush about how much I love this book. Also, the covers for this book are absolutely gorgeous. Talking about book covers has apparently become my thing now.

It grows and grows, like a plant that you water every day, like a scar that heals from patience, like the time you take to make sure you feel okay. So big and so bright.” A contemporary romance has to be exceptional for me to a) remember it for a long time and b) love it so much I want to cry. And this one marks the spot.
