Liked this a lot better than Radio Silence. Even though the characters messed up when it came with how they interacted with each other, at least all of them were aware and tried to grow and apologize for it unlike *cough*cough* Aled. They were also all so loveable, while I only liked Raine in Radio Silence. I really enjoyed the focus on the relationship between Georgia and Rooney and the importance of love in friendship and how it can be just as powerful as romantic love. I found that extremely beautiful, and more of what we need in today's world where everyone is so isolated. Not so much into the whole identities stuff today, I just don't see the need or point to label myself other than telling people my name and have no desire to interact with that whole side of things, but I probably would've loved this book when I was just starting out in college, you know in a similar position trying to discover my place in the world and find friends. It was a charming, heartwarming book about friendship at the end of the day. I liked it. I also appreciated the extra chapters at the end about the
first kiss between Pip and Rooney
. Baby gay me would've been screaming. I'm past that now, but it was fun to reminisce.
