I’m going on the higher side of my rating because I was pleased at the ending. And because I miss England.
But the main character was insufferable. She was a terrible friend. It’s fine for a teenage girl to be “boy crazy”; that’s developmentally normal. But I hate how she sacrificed herself for it. I do like she at least had a gardening hobby and wish the book delved even more into that to give her a better personality.
Also, the British guys in the book were so stereotypical and weird 😂 so unbelievable.
It was a sort of fun read, and I think that’s mostly because the side characters, the character’s friends really made the book. They should’ve been the main character. Would have been way more interesting.
