Seriously such a perfect summer read for sure.  It had all the wholesome friendship vibes combined with such detailed background history.  I loved the t-shirts the main character and her friends had in college, truly iconic.

The humor was 10/10, deadpan as ever and I’m here for it.  The miscommunication trope did play into this book a bit and I actually didn’t mind it as much as I usually do.  I liked how things worked out in the end.  While there were a few sad moments this book was fairly lighthearted and enjoyable, plus it had a happy ending so that helped a lot too.
