It was really refreshing to read a YA set at a British university (Fangirl is my only other Uni-age example and that's in the US). I felt this book portrayed university life really well, particularly those first uncertain months away from home. Although set in York, I imagined my own Uni campus when I was reading, which shows you how easy it is to slip back into that world and how universal the experience is. There were so many familiar moments in this book.
It’s also a book full of humour and cringe-worthy events (poor Phoebe has more than her fair share!) I loved the dual perspective between Luke and Phoebe and seeing their two different (but interwoven) freshers experiences. My favourite characters were Frankie - who is hilarious and stole every scene she was in - and also Josh, who was such a sweetie. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who’s about to start University, is already a student or, like me, wants to re-live their Uni days.
