Trigger warnings: Alcohol consumption, childbirth
5/10, this was a terrible UK young adult novel and if it wasn't for the ending I would have lowered this book's rating to two stars. Audrey and Grace were interesting characters since they were dealing with struggles behind their façade of perfection but they were relegated to the background most of the time which was a real missed opportunity. I would've liked to see more of those characters. Mia was rather insufferable and I had so many words to describe her but anyways she smoked cigarettes and got drunk at 16; I think she took that self-destructive path to develop her character eventually. Mia, Audrey and Grace were distant from one another until the end which irritated me but that's the point which didn't help that it was tedious with good moments interspersed.
I don't understand how Audrey and Grace were perfect since Grace just wanted to go to university to pursue her career that I forgot and Audrey was an Olympic level swimmer but then she stopped following her career and escaped to who knows where; by the way Mia does whatever other than a scolding from her parents and house arrest she gets away with it which doesn't seem like a fitting consequence for her. The sisters got together in the end and Mia experienced character development but I would've enjoyed it more if the book was improved upon; if you like books about relationships try this however there are better ones you can pick up.… (plus d'informations)
