First book I’ve ever read. It is special to me... I was new to the book community and didn’t even notice this was book #3 but it doesn’t matter... still really good. When I get the chance, I’ll like to read the others.

I'm a responsible adult and shit ...
Is it weird that I can relate with every character so far in this series? Maybe it's because I'm still in my early 20's too but I've related with every character so far. And I really feel like this story was written about me. It's like me and Coco are the same people.
I couldn't wait for Coco's story because she's been my favorite character since the first book. And Gemma Burgess did not disappoint. I remember reading a comment someone wrote about this series before the first book even came out. That person said that Burgess didn't know anything about being a female in her early 20s living in NYC. Well I don't know about the NYC part but I do know that Gemma Burgess hit it on the nail with her characters. I enjoy all the books in this series but this one is my favorite so far. And it has to be the best one.
Even though this is Coco's story we get to see how the other characters have changed from the first story to. Which is a good thing because I love to see what else happens with the other characters. The other characters didn't take away from the main character but their stories still continue throughout the series. I can't wait for the next two books!
Someone should seriously think about making this series into a show!

El más flojito de los tres y aparentemente el último(?). Es una pena que no haya más libros en esta serie, teniendo en cuenta que aún quedan dos chicas más del grupo que no tienen su propio libro.
El romance estuvo "meh", lo más interesante fue el crecimiento de la protagonista aunque debo admitir que a veces me caía pesada.
Ya el último 20℅ estaba aburrida porque la historia iba por donde esperaba (la resolución de todos los problemas) y realmente no conecté tanto con la protagonista para importante mucho.

Possibly my favourite book in the series. Heh. Review to come.
This book was easy to read, deally enjoyable and very modern. I love the diversity of the characters' personalities and their raw conversations. This is a new adult book that isn't explicit in the sex aspect but that topic is still expressed. I liked Coco and Joe was a very lovable character, though it would have made a 5 star rating if we saw their relationship after the officially got together.
Ah Gemma Burgess strikes again. These books really hit home for me because they touch on a lot of things that I find highly relevant right now.
I love this series. It feels fresh and fun but has enough life lessons to make you think.

I have been a long-time fan of Gemma Burgess. Ever since The Dating Detox came out, and A Girl Like You remains one of my absolute favourite Chick Lit books. In fact, I'm sure I'm due a re-read. I wasn't quite as enamoured with her first two Brooklyn Girls books, Pia and Angie, I mean they were fine, but they were only fine. They didn't blow me away like A Girl Like You did. But Coco? Oh, Coco is like my spirit fictional character. She's bookish like me, and that's always a good way to win me over. Books and cakes, and being the good girl.
Although I will admit, I'm quite devastated because as it turns out, this is the last Brooklyn Girl book. I was expecting two more - Maddie and Julia's books, but alas, that is not happening, which makes me profoundly sad because that means I genuinely don't know when I'll next read a Gemma Burgess book, and that's a travesty as she's one of the sharpest, wittiest writers on the block. For those who love Caitlin Moran and Lena Dunham, you'd love Gemma too. BUT you will see Gemma on TV screens soon, as she's writing a TV show which is freaking amazing, but I want another book. LOTS MORE BOOKS. *SAD FACE*
I got into Coco as soon as I started it, Coco is just ultimately likeable, and completely different to Gemma's other heroines, usually they're way more badass right from the off, but Coco was sweet, innocent, naive; until she decided to go a bit mad, have a bit of a wild time, as she tried to figure out her life, and why not? At 21, in New York, only having to pay for food, why not have a bit of fun and try and figure out what you wanna do with your life? That sounds luxurious (and mildly stressful).
Turns out being a millennial is hard (and I HATE that word with a passion it's been bandied about so much). Being an adult is hard. It's all much harder than it seems and what made it easier was the fact that Coco had Angie, Pia, Julia and Madeleine to help her through it, they all stuck together, they were all there for each other, and their friendship really shone through. To have friends like that is priceless. But my favourite character was Joe. Ahhh, Joe. He was just so much fun, so much less serious, and he brought out a lighter side to Coco, allowed her to stop thinking, for a little while at least and that was glorious. The two really just clicked and honestly, the pages they were in together just flew by.
I really enjoyed the book, Gemma's an amazing writer, honestly, one of the most under-rated authors ever, and deserves to be selling millions of copies, because she writes real, she writes life like it is, no candy coating, no holds barred, etc, etc. I'm sad this might be Gemma's last book, genuinely sad, but it was an amazing send off, and maybe I'll just have to re-read A Girl Like You every year and pretend I've never read it before. Or sit in the corner and cry, and curse that Gemma has movies to write and TV shows to write, and she's too busy for books. That works for me, too. OR maybe if everyone reads her books and we get a petition going, we can convince her books six to ten need writing ASAP? YES. I like that idea...
