Lori has just moved to a new school and is worried about making new friends. At her old school she was badly bullied because of her weight and she has problems at home as her mother isn't particularly supportive of her art and her brother has special needs. I thought this was a really interesting book because it didn't focus on one specific teen issue- as is more realistic there's a lot going on for everyone. I thought this was a really positive and fun YA book and I would thoroughly recommend it.

A really lovely surprise. Reminds me a tad bit of the Kissing Booth in some aspects, so definitely one for the fans of that short of novel.

The main character is a winner, I really enjoyed reading about her. I’ve never really read any books set in South Africa, so it was lovely reading about all these places fiction or otherwise. The author really paints a vivid image of it all.

It does touch on subjects of adulterous parents and divorce, which I think is good especially as it seems it’s so common yet parents don’t really want to expose their children to that. It’s honest. The conversations the main character has with her parent at the end was really realistic, I could imagine it being said between a parent and child.

You know when you devour a book in one sitting that it’s a good one?! I love young adult fiction, especially when it has an important message, and this is one of those books. I loved this book from the second I opened it and I urge everyone teen to read this, it is completely relevant to our time
