wow i loved these characters SO much. i read love & other disasters a few years ago so i had a feeling this would be really good and it was! julie feeling like she couldn’t confide in the people she was closest to because she was embarrassed about feeling behind everyone else was uncomfortably relatable and made me love her even more. and i loved the way both elle’s depression and julie trying to understand her identity were handled. this was such a lovely read

i really enjoyed this book! loved the first one in the series and loved that we got to see london and dahlia together in this one as well! as for this book, i really enjoyed how natural their relationship felt. even going from “practice dating” to “oh shorts, kinda have feelings,” it all felt like a natural progression. i loved the way vanessa’s storyline was handled and how mental illness was touched upon. ofc, always love a character that slowly discovers herself and what better than your childhood obsession!! highly recommend!!
May 2025 reread!!! Still an incredible novel. 5 stars!!! Anita Kelly's novels feel like coming home.
