Thank you so much to Malynda for sending me a copy of her book in exchange for an honest review.
This book originally peaked my interest because I had never read a contemporary with so many POVs. I think this book had a really solid foundation for the characters and their individual story lines. However, for me the POVs switched off to frequently not really giving me a chance to connect with the characters.
This book follows students entering college in addition to a few parents, which I was not expecting there to be more the 6 or so POVs. The amount of POVs was a tad overwhelming and I am typically a person who already struggles with multiple POVs in books. I do think I would have enjoyed this book more if I was capable of following so many people and keeping everything straight in my head, but alas I am not.
I think if you are a person who can handle a lot of POVs you will enjoy this book! It feels almost like it could be a teenage soap opera.

This book had a lot of characters that were very well-developed. It was a different style of writing, and there was a little bit of back and forth storytelling about each character. Some characters were more complex than others, and some I cared for more than others, but that could be just the way the author wanted. Alexia was a little strange, and seemed slightly off, but I liked her relationship with her twin brother, Wesley. He, I really liked. The storylines intermingled and were able to leave room for wondering what happens in book 2.
