I thought the author did an excellent job of writing in college student voices, something that would be hard to do as an older adult. Turns out, the author is a recent college graduate. So congrats on publishing a good book so early in life!

I love the a-spec representation so so much in this book. It’s nice to know there’s so much shared experience (as aro myself) and also so many different experiences. (I would never run a relationship advice account.) 

The juxtaposition of the cover being very romance-coded and the whole book centering around romance & relationships while also starring two a-spec characters really heightens the drama & irony. I also love how much queer rep there is and how well the college experience is captured here. I’m also so sorry your college food sucked! This book made me wish I had spent more time at my uni’s lgbtq center.

I always love aroace representation and this was pretty great! It was so relatable and highlighted several ways to be part of the aroace community! 
This book felt like a love letter to the Wellesley college first and a love song to being aroace second tho. 
I loved all the characters and the story and I felt really seen 
This is the perfect book for me in all aspects so I absolutely love it!
However something I can’t define was missing for me so it’s „just“ 4,75 stars for me
