(4/5 Stars) I actually really liked the book because I feel like the storyline was so unique with Luke and Phoebe’s relationship. I loved how it showed how confusing a time the beginning of college is and it gave me a glimpse of what it actually is like. This book was honestly really good and I loved all of the friendships it portrayed even with their flaws. However, the book made me really sad that Luke and Phoebe didn’t end up together because she realized it wasn’t the right time for him, but she didn’t even end up with someone else. At least it taught the lesson that you don’t need a guy to rely on and to put yourself first before anything else.
Good ending but a lot of things felt somewhat unresolved to me.
This was a fast and fun read. But I did like it unless than I expected. I was expecting to love this book due to my high expectations but I still had a nice time reading it. The reason I wasn’t as happy with it is because Luke Taylor frustrated me so many times and sometimes the book had a lot of fluff that could have been replaced with more plot but it was still enjoyable. I really did like Josh and Phoebe more but liked how they didn’t end up immediately together. And I loved the end when Stephanie a character we meet and then assume was forgotten about is brought back at the very end. That was great. It was pretty relatable and I gave it a solid 3 stars :)
Such a hilarious, and entertaining book!
I found myself caring more about the side characters, even though the main storyline was good. Frankie’s antics had me chuckling away in the middle of the night— if she was real id want her to be my friend.
tldr; this book has lots of the classic Brit humor we all know and love, beautiful friendships, realistic character growth, a nice ending and most of all you’ll want to read it as fast as you can because otherwise you’ll just spend the whole time thinking “what happens next?”

i just really cannot stand Luke and the further I made it through the book, the harder it got to sludge through his portions.
I was so, so, so unexplainably excited to read this and I've just been dropped on my arse. I couldn't finish it - I didn't enjoy it. I couldn't connect to the characters, to the setting, to the story... nothing seemed to do it for me and it just wasn't the fun read I thought it was going to be. It read more like a "this happened, then this happened, then this happened, ooo dramatic plot twist, then this happened"... and it was all very dull to be honest.
Oh well! Onwards and upwards!
Definitely give this a try if you're a fresher yourself as it might get you pumped up for starting uni. I just don't think I'm the right type of person to "get" this story - I don't tend to subscribe to the typical college/university life so I just don't enjoy reading about it.

I am only a few weeks from a Freshers (aka O Week) of my own, so I thought I read this in the spirit of letting characters make mistakes for me. This book does quite a good job of portraying the freedom and fear of starting university, speaking as someone who has not yet been to university herself. The characters were bright and vivid. I liked Phoebe a lot more than Lucke tbh, but I liked that Luck was so willing to acknowledge his mistakes. I don't think either of the characters made particularly good choices but they were sort of dumb so I am not holding it against them. The main problem wth this book is that there are two many characters; there were all these names being thrown at me and I had no idea who anyone was apart from like the main characters.
