I thought this was a fun look at what happens, when a very driven young woman becomes a little sidetracked by. Jules had plans. She was going to be editor of the school paper and earn her way into Brown. She had no time for drama, but it found her, in the form direct competition for the newspaper and a wonderful new student named Alex.
Things I loved:
• Jules' family, her moms were awesome, and it was always nice being at home with them.
• The dog walking
• Alex, he was so sweet and endearing and genuine, and it really annoyed me what Jules KEPT doing to him.
• The romance, when we were in the Jules and Alex bubble
• All the newspaper and broadcast stuff was interesting, and I loved the characters' passion for it.
• The revenge plots were pretty funny, most of the time.
What I wished? I wish Alex and Jules' romance hadn't suffered due to all the drama, because I really adored those two together, but it was still a fun read, and I was happy with where everyone ended up.
