I went into this book not expecting too much, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be! Pleasantly surprised.

It is brilliant. My first 5 ⭐️ of the year, and I am happy it is this book: the one that is so easy to read, charming, with a protagonist starting her adulthood, with life situations when I wanted to intervene, to help, to lend a tissue or kick someone’s ass. There is friendship, there is love (different kinds), lies, support, current events — a good mix.

I loved so many parts of this book, I don’t usually like when books try to be funny but really liked it here. The plot picked up about halfway through which brought it back for me and I love pages 150-250 a lot! I really liked the ending but wish it wasn’t so rushed, had me kicking my feet and I wanted to keep that feeling for longer
