Book received from NetGalley. All opinions are my own. I really enjoyed this book! It had my attention the whole time and I didn’t want to put it down once I got going.

I loved all the characters. I like how we got to know all of them and learned what was going on in their lives. I think it would be interesting to have a sequel and see where the characters are then! This book was a nice way to show that even though a person’s life might seem perfect, doesn’t necessarily mean it is. I loved the ending and how she and her family got a fresh start. I thought that was a really creative way to have a happy ending. This book kept me captivated the whole time. I also really liked the romance between her and her childhood nemesis. I liked how we got to see how he wasn’t what Dell thought he was like.

Overall I would definitely recommend this book to others. It was an easy read that lasted the perfect amount of time. I’d recommend it to young adult and contemporary lovers.

I was provided with an eARC of this book in exchange for a fair review.

Oh. Em. Gee!!! I adored everything about this book, from the writing, to the plot, to the amazing cast of characters. It was the PERFECT summer read. Della/AJ made for a wonderful MC and I loved following her journey of self-discovery and her struggle to mesh the two halves of her life. I loved her Florida family, and her Florida-self, and my heart really went out for her in regards to her Michigan life and the anxiety she dealt with there daily. Yes, her Michigan life was one of privilege, but at the cost of her individualism and her mental well-being (not being able to sleep at night is never a good sign). Marnie's integration into her Florida life was the perfect kick for her to start doing some soul-searching, and I'm not gonna lie when I say I was sort of rooting for Della and Marnie to just stay in FL full-time. Their family there is just wonderful and I love them all. Not to mention, Jude is just the total package and *heart eyes*.

This is a book I will be revisiting again and again!

This was one heck of a ride. The thing about this book that really stuck to me was about how real it felt, how real the struggles Dell/AJ felt about trying to find herself amongst her two separate lives/identities. The family drama was relatable and the struggles Dell went through in regards to trying to be different versions of herself to please others while struggling to find some semblance of which self she actually is, was extremely relatable. This was a great journey to read about and on top of that there was a romance plot with the sweetest guy ever, Jude has my whole hearted support! The romance just added to the fun and sweetest of this book. Overall I would definitely recommend this book and I had enjoyed reading it a lot!
*thank you netgalley for sending me a arc!*
