A first time for me reading Kate Mallinder but it won't be the last.

An enjoyable story that will make for an easy summer read.

A reminder to lean on those who care about us in times of struggle and that all relationships require effort from both sides.

I love how each character gets the same amount of spotlight and an equal amount of depth of detail.

There were no unanswered questions but there is scope for a follow up.

A story of friendship and the trials of relationships whether that's with family members or partners. It serves as a reminder to share our worries with those we care about and who care about us.

Perfect YA book. I loved the friendships and relatable situations many young people will connect with when the world seems like anything is possible. I cannot wait for readers to be able to dive into this book and feel seen and heard as well as those of us that are past this point in life but want to relive the nostalgia
