A fun little read. Loved the characters and could relate quite a lot to both of the main characters. A good story about expectations and reality of college/university/after school starts. Some deeper moments and surprising loveable side characters.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did! I honestly don't even know what to say, this book was just perfect! 

I would have liked for the leads to discuss why the previous relationships were toxic and handle a few things better- but ultimately that's even if the author knows those things to be able to mention them.
