read for the SASS book club. 

Pleasantly surprised at the amount of heart in this book, despite it being quite lighthearted and a bit silly. It definitely brought up so much fondness for my friends.

This book was so sweet— the aro/ace book that we’ve needed. Some moments were a little too tumblr-esque for my taste, and I am a Taylor Swift-hater, but I forgive it.

Honestly, the audiobook want giving, I felt like the lady kept on mentioning she’s asexual and I was like we know, we get already 

This was a really easy and pleasant read! As long as you go in knowing that it's gonna be silly, not super serious, 18-year-old fun/drama, then you should enjoy this! It's awesome for aroace and queerplatonic representation.

What I liked: I appreciated the aroace discourse & learning more about this specific identity. I wish they had defined "a-spec" as a shorthand for "asexual spectrum" because I had never heard of that term before, and they just started using it like I should know what it is (I mean it's easy to figure out, but still, the author was really good at defining most other terms so I just thought it strange that they left this one out). I also thought the Instagram feud was a really cool and original concept. 

What I didn't like: I liked the idea of the Instagram feud, but I didn't like how seriously Sophie took it. Like banter is one thing, but Sophie was literally malicious and bullying. So that wasn't super fun to read. Another thing I didn't love was that there was that the dialogue felt very stiff to me; just not how actual college kids talk. Or maybe just that there was too much dialogue? It was a lot of talking rather than showing/doing a lot.
