Lily's Just Fine

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a perfect book to put me in the Summer mood.
I picked up this book mostly because of the cover and the title, because I was very intrigued by them. The synopsis promises an unexpected romance set in Scotland but it was more than that in the end.
I enjoyed the dual narrative - even though I don't, most of the time - and I liked both of the main characters more than I thought I will initially. Surprisingly Lily wasn't an annoying helpless teenager that was obsessed with boys She knows what she wants and gets it, even though she definitely was bossy. She is creative and is not afraid to speak her mind and I appreciate that. I loved the fact that she wasn't in the spotlight and we got to meet other characters because the book didn't focus entirely on her. Of course, her need to control everything was taken a little bit too far sometimes, but it didn't bother me too much. Tom was an amazing love interest and their relationship was very cute and nicely developed. Tom's sister was one of the characters that stood out to me and I enjoyed her character a lot.
The story also deals with topics such as LGBTQ+ and mental health (without romanticizing it, and I liked that) but I think the author could have done more to portray them.
I loved the Gala part of the story and everything that came with it, it was overall a fun experience.
All in all, the plot offered me everything I wanted from a cute summer read and I enjoyed everything about it.
I'm still not 100% sure about my rating, but it is at least worth 3,5☆ . So 4☆ it is.
I can't wait to read the sequel and see what it has in store for us.
