Thank you Simon & Schuster for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Finally Fitz follows Ava Fitzgerald to New York City where her whole world gets turned upside down. Her girlfriend, Dani, decides they need to call it quits right before Fitz starts her summer fashion program claiming Fitz cares more about her social media platform than their relationship. Fitz reconnects with a long lost bestie, Levi Berkowitz while on a hiatus to prove Dani wrong. The two hatch a plan to create a fauxmance to try & win back their exes, but feelings get complicated for Fitz. Will she end up with Dani or Levi? This book is filled with Jewish rep, lgbtq rep, mental health awareness, family drama, & more. 

I love love loved Finally Fitz! Immediately I was sucked in. Her friendship with Levi was fun to explore & so cute! Her sibling drama was very relatable being the youngest sibling myself. I felt her pain feeling excluded from her older sister’s lives. Fitz felt real. She has real life problems & feelings a lot of people struggle to understand & deal with. It’s always a breath of fresh air when stories dive into the mess instead of dance around it to keep everything fluffy. There’s plenty of comedy & happy carefree moments as well, but Finally Fitz does a great job balancing it all out.
