I appreciated a lot about this. I liked the premise of the romance and the role that friendship played. There was a lot of complexity here. However, there were parts of the writing and dialogue that felt clunky.
I also felt more frustrated with certain parts of the story. I didn't really understand why some of the conflict was a conflict. Like, why astronomy was a "bad" degree to get,why teaching would be worse than a research job, or what person would be disappointed in a kid for not getting a job IMMEDIATELY. Maybe this is just me missing something, but it felt like an over-inflated part of the conflict.
With that being said, it was still a pretty solid debut. I think some of my own personal emotions got in the way of my enjoyment of it, so I should probably revisit it when I am further away from being in a quarter life crisis as well.
