I really loved the concept of this book, the play out we get to see with anxiety, PTSD and panic attacks through our main cast especially in a college setting was also great to see. However, there are some things I kind of saw as unanswered or unresolved. One that kind of keeps spinning in my head is the main characters older sister like what happened there?
But wait, the banter ! The dialogue and the love confessions just got to me. The friendships too, like I really really loved the dynamics between Astrid and David and then Astrid and Wally (big bro little sis vibes). And I loved the little developments we get towards the end regarding time and the Ferris Buller reference ??? Stan!
Yes indeed Astrid was definitely a Cameron.
All in all, I think what really got to me with this book was the relatability towards the emotions that surge of losing time or not distributing it for a more “productive” plan. Especially in college where you’re literally basing your time there to start your path into the “real world” and into real adulthood. And Astrid having multiple schedules and literally scheduling when Max was gonna ask her out made me laugh and also made me flabbergasted because no, no I don’t want to live like that to accomplish my dreams. I want to also live happily in this moment, enjoying the journey but also eventually the destination. And in the end Astrid finally understood that too.
