She possesses an understanding of the hope that comes with a teenage love and the heartbreak which so often holds its hand. I just honestly wish Abbie had gotten a beta reader who struggles with some of these things or gotten input from the disabled community because I think I probably would have liked the book if it weren't for the way some of this was depicted. The yellowness and aesthetic of it is so gorgeous, and I love the cover so much I ended up taking a ton of aesthetic-looking pictures in the backyard with it. She's disabled, traumatized, and trying to learn how to handle PTSD and flashbacks, and in walks this asshole who has no respect for boundaries, and he's the main love interest?

If you have to give almost a full chapter of backstory at the beginning of your story, you started in the wrong place. I’m Hannah, the daydreamer behind this blog and a Christian teen who loves helping others find positivity in their life. I’ve mentioned it before, but Coming Up for Air was one of the best books I’ve come across when it comes to consent, YA or otherwise.Thankfully, there wasn't a huge amount of romance, which is what kept this baby from being docked down another star. But good grief, do they both have to constantly think about how much they wanna touch/kiss each otherrrrrr?

MY HEARTTTTTTT Literally so cuteeeeee I want a Weston in my life so baddddd this was literally the cutest thing I've ever read! But for Weston, it’s the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. With things in the big bad world as grim as they are at times, it takes a book like this to make you stop and think for a moment. Normally, if consent isn’t written out but there are no issues, I don’t take much issue, although I’d like for consent to be verbalized more.

A character who has to get their way, a character who ‘suffered so much’, a character who has some issues with parent (s) et cetera are overused now a days. Come to think of it, we didn’t really learn much about Tessa’s grandparents, but especially her grandmother.
