3.5 ⭐️ This book was a slow start. It’s about college friends who make a pact to be there for each other if any of them hit rock bottom after losing one of their friends to suicide in college. The 3 surviving friends decide to take a trip to 3 locations (each friend picks one location). While on their trip they each face their own fears and demons. The back half of the book really picks up and I enjoyed the ending.

Left with unanswered questions. Felt like some plot topics were started and not finished. The romance is all kind of thrown in at the end of the book. Would have liked to see more build up to make the relationships more believable

2.5 ⭐️

Meh. Very underwhelming. The characters’ voices were very similar and led to confusion as to whose pov I was reading. Found myself rolling my eyes at what the characters said and did. Romantic story lines felt like they came out of left field and did not even occur until the last 1/4 of the book.
