This book really nails the awkwardness of early adulthood, when every friendship is incredibly intense and you're too afraid to show people who you really are, trying on different skins every time you go out. Rachel is lovable and so cringey, and I found the story compelling. I flew through this one and will def read whatever O'Donoghue puts out next.
