Cute, cynical, melancholic

Three middle school friends that grew apart by high school incidentally reunite to skip classes because they are all having a bad, off, or distracted day.
We're following the three high school students with very different families, backgrounds, and goals.
Set in the Boston and surrounding area (USA).

Growls, Howls, and Tail Wags πŸΊπŸ•:
  • πŸ‘ I enjoyed it overall. The characters were all relatable and if you're not a young adult, the nostalgia around friendship, freedom, and how every moment feels so "big" was accurate.
  • πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ At around the 75% mark I started to want the wrap-up to occur. There are predictable moments and for some parts it doesn't negatively affect the story, but for other parts it starts to feel slow/stalled/bit repetitive. 

Cred Rating: Realistic/Plausible with OTT bits

Mood Reading Match Up:
  • Adventures while skipping class (slowly evolving into adventure, not OTT)
  • High school and family drama around $$, student politics, and crushes
  • Platonic friendships and "missed chance" romance  
 
Content Head-Up: Adult/minor emotional relationship. Drugs (pills). 

Format: Hardcover
