I loved this short novella by Ms McGarry. It's just as good as her full-length novels. This is a cute realistic romance between two teenagers dealing with difficult times in their lives. It's a story about the choice which make us who we are.Despite its short length, the book tells a complete story with rich, well-developed characters. The story is told from dual POV and Jonah and Stella have unique and compelling voices.The author doesn't shy away from difficult subjects (poverty, bullying, death) but she has found a perfect balance between the darker side of real life and the sweet thrill of first/teenage love and friendship.It's a must-read for fans of Katie McGarry and all fans of YA realistic fiction with a touch of romance
