A lovely book! Loved the vibe of the story and really felt part of this amazing friend group. There’s not really one big plot, which feels a little weird, but it was definitely not boring!

So very good! The third act conflict felt true to the characters and was well written, not just some random miscommunication like some romance books. I love the communally theme and the lack of damsel-in-distress storytelling. Only reason I didn’t finish it one day is because I have a toddler who wants to read his books. But it’s that good.

I dont know whats more unrealistic: the fact that their university put on Hamilton or that a man like Nate Hawkins really exists. I think its both.

There was so much hype surrounding this book, but I was so disappointed. 

There were too many characters with too-elaborate backstories, making this hard to follow. The writing was generally good, but there were too many sub-plots for my taste. 

What really ruined it for me was the epilogue. I was really disappointed with how the book ended and felt it was very out-of-character.
