So hopefully this one will eventually do the trick for me. But I'm not in a rush to read it. I also feel like YA contemps are getting hard to like because of the family aspect. Like how hard is to write in a good supportive family/parents? They are sooooo hard to come by.

I do have a copy of it which I am hoping I can get to in enough time. I like the sound of a friendship that is reignited with his return but many people did mention the insta love so I am sort of expecting it. But the points about the kidnapping? That might bother me a smidge as well.
