Hidden gem is no where near the term to describe how underrated and how beautiful this story is I remember only reading one other like it yet it did not impact me as much as this. I read this in one setting I feel so incredibly moved by the atmosphere and the messages it sent me. Looking back at the first chapter while reminiscing on the last makes me want to sob and mind you I have only spent a couple hours with this story. Oh my gosh this is a coming of age story about what truly matters in life, the people we keep around us, the memories we make and the goals we have in our life to keep us going. It also touched on forgiveness , the true meaning about being kind and its impact, taking leaps of faith, and youth in general. I don’t even know how to move on from this, the dialogue to the world building in this story is genuinely crazy I had never been so fully immersed in a story unlike this. I could also genuinely feel for the main character so many times since I have had rumors about me come and go from people who don’t even talk to me. All the charecters feel so well fleshed out with some of their stories not completely ending leaving us with a bitter sweet ideology that although the story has ended the characters have so much more to embark face and learn from their everyday lives. This story was never centered around romance which I think some may not like as they read the romance category but it is still evident is all the chapters it is an extreme slow burn and before it is a story about love it’s a story about friends growth community and how important it is to reach out. There are endless messages to take from this story and lots of nostalgia truly impacting the way I see my life and that is because again, I have barely started reading this a few hours ago. I read some comments that called it boring I just think maybe the slice of life category isn’t for you. I was never bored once during this reading there is always something going on something important that I was screaming NOO at. I went through so many emotions and just the everyday life’s of these charecters was so beautiful and a roller coaster to read. Thank you to the author for making this it was so so so so beautiful
