This book is incredibly charming! I had so much fun with the characters, even laughing out loud at some parts. 
 
My favorite thing about this book is the age of the characters. I’ve read so few YA novels that take place in college and often they end up skewing younger or older. This one really works though as the characters actually feel college-aged. 
 
The one negative is that this book has side plots about some heavier topics that don’t feel fully fleshed out. The authors were trying to make the story more well-rounded and make the characters feel more dynamic. However, I think some things feel a bit shoe-horned in. 
 
I would say to go in expecting a cute, light-hearted romance! I enjoyed this book immensely despite its flaws and genuinely didn’t want it to end! 
 
I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
