What a pleasant surprise! I didn't realize it was going to be such an "issue" book (it has been super long since I read the synopsis) and I'm not always in to issue books but this was really good. Sends out the right message without throwing it in your face. I loved the characters, especially BFF Erin. My one complaint was that the "issue" was almost thrown around too much, it was a little too coincidental at times, but still a great read!
