I get the mixed reviews for this book. First, I just felt overwhelmed by the shear number of characters and descriptions but then I started to think of it how overwhelming the first year of college is for everybody. New places, people and perspectives and that made me appreciate the book a lot more. Do I still think it needed an editor and that there were major plot holes, yes. So, all in all, highs and lows here - I do think this one is more memorable than most 3 ⭐️s.
