Nice, feel good book. Definitely a teen read. Reading Abby and Ella navigate friendship while growing up is something so reliable to anyone. Pretty predictable but a good book and the writing is easy to read. Seeing how Abby navigates her relationship with her grandmother is adds some sweet moments to the book. There were some wordy sections that maybe didn’t add much to the book but certainly didn’t take away from the story.

This is a cute but sad coming of age novel that tackles grief and growing. LNSOTA authentically covers teenage angst, sexual development, and pain that comes along with teenage years. I enjoyed the content of the story, but the style of writing felt kind of choppy and distracted me from the story. The way it is broken up makes it read more like a diary than a normal novel.
