The main issue I had was probably that the main character is not likeable at all, and she doesn’t really become much better throughout the book. The book tackles a lot of big issues that could make it a really great read: there’s loss and grieving, (possibly terminal) illness, second chances, (slut) shaming and bullying, the power of first love and friendship, and yet the story doesn’t dive too deep into any of these topics. It wasn’t so awful that I just DNFed (or threw the book across the room), but it was also not really good. It’s really hard to wrap my head around how exactly I want to write this review. Sooo…this sounds like a pretty solid YA story, doesn’t it? Well….it may be one, but… The but is pretty dominant in this one. Will the former best friends find their way back to each other? And now, Declan is back home for the summer. But the worst was probably losing her best friend, Declan, who started boarding school away from her. She’s been kicked off the swim team, earned a very bad reputation because of that ONE day in the pool with that guy, started drinking. The main character, Harper, has done a few mistakes over the past year. Before I tell you why, here is what the book’s about: However, the story, the characters and so many other aspects of the book disappointed me so much that it took me several attempts and a couple weeks to finish it. The cover is so pretty, when I saw it on the shelf in the book store I was already in love. I wish I liked this book more, I really do.
