This book was a nice solid read about girl friendship that really made my heart pretty warm. Spoilers about why I read it (queer read) though, which is important for folks who are more invested than I was, and some commentary surrounding that: SPOILER Bo and Agnes DO NOT date even though it reads as like really homoerotic and with a lot of sexual tension; there's even a line where Agnes sort of thinks about Bo being bi and is like 'it wasn't something I had considered' and I was like OH MY GOD but no, alas, no dating, and while Agnes gets a sex scene with a male character, Bo's 'dating' is left to a single chapter at the end. She IS named as bisexual, though, and she does end up with a girlfriend so? idk, just something to think about. We can't do all things in all stories and I get that but MAN are we missing a 'sweet girl and a girl from the wrong side of the tracks fall in love' lesbian story. /SPOILER I will also say that the ending felt pretty rushed, especially the final few chapters--like we bumped up against a space limitation and had to wrap up the story quickly. But it was a cute and fluffy story about girls growing up and learning how to be themselves and that was nice, so if you're looking for a quick feel-good read, this is a pretty good start! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Bo Dickinson is a seventeen-year-old girl from a bad family, but she is also over-protected, legally blind, Agnes Atwood's best friend--so when Bo calls in the middle of the night, desperate to get out of town, Agnes helps her to steal the Atwoods' car and the two girls go on the run, even though Agnes is not sure exactly what they are running from.

I knocked off a star because the author chose to flip back and forth between present and past in a way that lowered the emotional stakes for me, deeply annoyed me at times, and was low-key distracting at others. Because this was a pattern, I was actually able to accurately predict the ending, but I didn't roll my eyes, I just mini-sighed. I felt like the characters needed that ending, though. It fit. The book is rich with symbolism, though, and I noticed early on -who- had the most chapters set in the past, and I really appreciated the symbolism/device. Character names could be cheesy, but later I realized, they fit, and how they did. One of the characters was named Colt, and I giggled eagerly as I imagined him to be a character, grown up, from a movie I watched a ton as a kid, and still watch as an adult.
I'm so glad I read this, so grateful for disability rep and #ownvoices, and I'm eager to learn about other things the author is working on. ( )
