I'm on the acknowledgements now. I wasn't expecting some parts of the ending, especially the part with Tad.

I'm happy Kitsy's conflicts with Amber and Hands are being resolved now, even if they feel pretty contrived.

Annika serving as a reminder that Kitsy needs to reevaluate what's important to her at home? That's fine with me. Her serving as conflict to drive the latter and Tad apart? That's contrived.

I think I'm getting to the point where I'm finding Kitsy's internal conflict's monotonous. While I can still get behind it, Heasley's rehashing the same thoughts per chapter, and they're on the longer side.

In interacting with Kitsy after the clay mishap, I can see Mr. Picasso's growing on her. Even though she's missing the scholarship meeting to hang out with Tad, I think it'll prove possible in Kitsy's future. She just needs to believe in herself more.

That fight Kitsy and Hands had proves the latter is definitely clingy.

I can't decide if Tad following Kitsy to make sure she got home safely was nice like she thought it was or a little creepy.
