Who We Are Now by Lauryn Chamberlain
3.0

Who We Are Now follows four friends from college over a matter of 12 years, from the night before college graduation, through their journeys to adulthood. We get a small glimpse of each of their perspectives over the years and get a glimpse of what are often small moments in their lives, some of which alter their life paths and change their friendships in the process.

This book is so raw and real - it is messy and complicated, heart-warming and at times heartbreaking. You see the honesty of how friendships change as these four characters grow into adulthood. Each character is flawed yet loveable, and I found myself rooting for each of them in different ways. This is a great story about friendship and growing up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dutton Books for the advance copy.
