4.75
Genuinely an amazing book! I’ll admit it is a little cliche which is part of why I rated it 4.75 instead of 5. Other than that it was near perfect. With the love triangle aspect of the book, in the beginning I really couldn’t figure out who I wanted Lily the be with. Which is strange because usually I would immediately know who, but I think me being confused is what made the book so good. It was really obvious towards the end, (because the book was coming to an end) and I feel like it was something that everyone is happy with regardless of what they thought of in the beginning. I thought this would be a cheesy romance but it was so much more and tackled so much real world problems and ideas. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the lack of diversity. I saw little to no mention of people of color, mental illness, disabilities, etc. which really disappointed me. It was a good book, a great book, but with representation, it would have been perfect.
