I particularly enjoyed the level of LGBT representation in this book. Three of the five main characters were not straight, and all at different times in their journeys, and their feelings were well written and researched.
I also loved the ending, a very hopeful finish. The characters are not all in the ideal places, emotionally and financially, but there was a definite sense of "it will get better", and the love and support between the girls was wonderful to read.
The characters were all very individual, with their own lives and histories and personalities, and it would be difficult to pick a main character, which is nice in an ensemble cast. They all had different journeys through the book as well, and their different goals and paths were presented as all equally valid and fulfilling, and you end with a sense that they have all either achieved their goals or are well on the way.
A lovely, heartwarming, positive book!
