This felt like ‘The Yearbook’ and ‘Funny Story’ combined. I really enjoyed the storyline and all the characters, although I did find it hard to make myself pick up the book at times. I thought June’s relationships with Stanley & Alex were beautiful, but I’m glad it was acknowledged that she was kind of pathetic throughout the book bc I couldn’t ignore that.

This is such a sweet book and had me smiling throughout. I fell in love with the characters (you can't not) and the romance subplot was so cute. I think this book deals with grief well and I was rooting for June right until the end. Stanley dying BROKE MY HEART and I love him sm ♥️

CW: Death of a parent (in the past)
Such a sweet book that is really just a love letter to libraries. It deals with some delayed grief as the main character's mother died a number of years ago but she hasn't dealt with it yet, so that might be sensitive for some people. But I so loved this - highly recommend if you need a bookish pick-me-up.
