Oh my poor heart ๐ญ๐ This was easily one of my all-time favorite YA novels! Charlie & I relate so much, that it often felt like I could have written certain lines myself. Her relationships with Amelia & her mom were so close to mine with my BFF & momโ I bawled at some parts because I felt so *seen.* Love love love this one and I canโt wait to reread it in the future!
โ Things I Liked: diverse cast of characters, family drama, short chapters, real-life situations
โ Things I Disliked: sometimes it was a bit too dramatic but Iโm pushing that to the side because itโs just so good!!
Graphic: Body shaming and Fatphobia
Moderate: Death of parent
