I was pleasantly surprised with this book. Honestly im not a slow burn friends to lovers kind of gal but i really enjoyed this! I would have liked the main character to figure out her feelings a little sooner but overall her growth was amazing. She starts out as unsure of herself but throughout the story she becomes more comfortable at her dream college and with her friends and she really becomes her own person. This is DEFINITELY a coming of age story! I can definitely see this book turned into a young adult romance move on netflix, kind of like the kissing booth (i love that movie this is a compliment). I can’t wait to see where this story goes and I know it’s going to resonate with so many young readers also trying to find their place in this crazy world!!

Thank you Netgalley, St. Martin’s Press, Wednesday Books, and Emma Lord for allowing me to read this as an ARC in exchange for my honest review :)
