Truly a beautiful book! Maybe it’s because I can relate a bit too much to the romantic life storyline, especially as I got ghosted immediately after starting this book, but it did help the healing process I guess. I’ve highlighted many quotes and saved quite a few in my notes app. Loved it! Even if some of the British terms were very confusing.

a perfect beach read (good story and characters, not too dumb, but also not groundbreaking)

I really liked this, a relatable tale of white womanhood, with unlikeable male characters and the usual “female friendship reigns supreme” moral.

I liked this book in the beginning but then grew incredibly tired of what a hater Nina was. But THEN, a few things happened and I found the negativity relatable and also sooo valid. Go off Nina. I will say that analyzing all of your interpersonal relationships through the same light as Ghosts does is probably not good for you! Once the last third of the book rolled around I was drawn in again. I know some people really hate the ending but I cannot really imagine any other ending fitting well here. This was a great coming-of-age for everyone past the age of 18 who is still coming of age. Also fuck
