Un roman Young Adult sans aucune surprise, qui transpire la guimauve et donne souvent le sourire, mais totalement oubliable. J'ai bien aimé, mais c'est clairement une de mes lectures de l'année 2017 dont j'aurais pu me passer totalement sans que cela me gêne plus que cela.
Sweet, diverse, and realistic, with the added bonus of a setting I know well. A real homerun of a sophomore book, with huge teen appeal. Would have loved this book 20 years ago, because highschool me surely would have identified HARD with Molly!
This was adorable and so much fun to read - I won't call it fluff, because it touches on family relationships (especially sisterhood) and growing up and apart and body image and some serious stuff, but it's not at all a Message Book. It's just a good solid contemporary non-dystopian YA book, and it's cute and diverse and not another damn love triangle, and I really recommend it. (And if you like this, may I suggest the works of [a: Amy Spalding 5768552 Amy Spalding https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1489555047p2/5768552.jpg] to you?)
2.75/5 stars
I don't entirely understand how anyone gets a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. It just seems like the most impossible odds. You have to have a crush on the exact right person at the exact right moment. And they have to like you back. A perfect alignment of feelings and circumstances. It's almost unfathomable that it happens as often as it does.
