Kiley Reid is such a fantastic character writer. She can really capture being human. There are so many little thoughts the characters have that are generally not important to any kind of plot, but as a fellow human, they are just SO relatable.
The plot wasn't exactly riveting, but that's not really what you're here for anyway. It was definitely an interesting examination of many things, such as campus culture, being young and impressionable (read: dumb), attitudes around money, and interpersonal racial politics.
