Loved this book. Everything felt so refreshing. The different POVs, how well thought out each character was, the complexity in each relationship (familial, platonic, romantic). This was such a good portrayal of the many changes that happen during senior year of undergrad. Will and EJ’s relationship was so heartwarming. The pacing of the growth of their relationship alongside their character development had me smiling at the pages. However, the romance was the icing on the cake. The experiences of each character is what kept me engaged, specifically EJ. EJ, my pop culture deficient, antique loving, tradition keeping bestie. I loved her with all my heart and saw soo much of myself in her. I will defend her with my life.

This is the perfect book for current or recent grads and quickly being added to my favorite New Adult reads.
