This was fun, cute and relatable. 

Although I’m already in uni, I related to Henri’s college stress and feeling like the program you chose wasn’t good enough. Even though America’s all he’s known, it would’ve been nice to see more inclusion of Henri’s identity as Haitian. We’re not gonna talk about that specific decision he made that pissed me off so bad. I think irl consequences would’ve been more severe but I’m glad he got his happy ending.

To be honest, I liked Corinne more than I did Henri and I would’ve love a dual pov. I also liked Ming and would read a spin-off about him.
