I appreciate this book for the way it opened up my world just a bit more and for the rawness of university life in England, the dynamics of navigating social circles and sussing out who you can trust, the strange experience of meeting people you just instantly click with who operate on the same frequency as you, the importance of female friendships and building each other up, the significance of seeing someone who looks like you in positions of power and authority to know you can take up that space too, learning when to play it safe and when to take risks, being brave enough to confront misconceptions and break down preconceived notions we have of those around us and how we are perceived by them, how manipulative people can be and the harm it has on multiple people, the importance of owning up to your mistakes and taking accountability, and how beautiful a relationship can be when it's founded on a solid friendship, open communication, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Also just screaming at the gentle moments of love being expressed throughout the book,
