⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Stars
Pub date: 3/7/2023
This is a charming YA coming of age novel. 17 year old Scarlett is navigating through her junior year of high school and all of the teen angst and drama along with it. The opening of the novel itself captivated me instantly! I loved the themes of theatre and fashion. Scarlett and Nathaniel's relationship was very sweet. Her relationship with her best friend Macie felt genuine. I loved how Macie pulled Scarlett out of her comfort zone. Scarlett was very loyal and went above and beyond for her friends. The character development was played out wonderfully. I enjoyed watching her hard work and sketches of her fashion ideas come to fruition. I was worried about the ending but was pleasantly surprised! It was executed perfectly in how it was realistic for a couple their age and how she tied the title in with the ending. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is how quickly she mastered sewing - it seemed unrealistic. Aside from that, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would read more of Alison's work in the future!
Thank you Net Galley and Level Best Books for the opportunity to read and review this arc 🖤
