5.0

This gives me such college nostalgia! A really fun and lighthearted read with a hint of *drama* sprinkled in, but mostly sweet college bonding. The various characters are quirky and fun!

The like the vlog theme and the art is really cute and enjoyable to look at. The book includes pages of tweets at the end which are really funny and add a lot to the story.

It does not have as much romance as I expected (it being labeled “romance”); it is mostly friendship and college shenanigans, with some light pining and hints of romantic gestures. We also get a bit of emotional backstory from our love interest throughout. It ends on a CLIFFHANGER, so I am excited to start book 2 and to finally dig in to the romance!
