I've really struggled with writing this review because there's just so much in this book to discuss and it left my heart feeling so full and seen. It's about realizing that dreams don't have to come true (and how that isn't always a bad thing), how relationships can be good even if they're messy, that parents are people too, and that staring adulthood in the face can be really, really scary. It's more about senior year and how messy and complicated and scary it can be. Will it be CJ, Ava, Martha, or Jordan? While you're left to wonder throughout the book, I didn't find that to be the point. We also know one will marry a Diffenderfer. Overview: From the start, we know that one girl in the friend group will become president. ![]()
