Mahalia is trying to plan a coming out party, in place of the sweet sixteen her Mother and her were never able to afford. Bills, life, and other struggles stand in her way of having the perfect party, and a new student can't help but steal all of her focus. Siobhan and Mahalia were so cute together, I just wish we had seen more of their relationship and how Siobhan saw and felt about Mahalia.
There is a bookish trope that always gives me the ick, when the mc's love interest is dating someone else already and they engage in a flirtationship/emotional affair before finally getting together. It just makes the story feel so icky. Even if
I do feel like the ending was kinda abrupt, I almost expected there to be more to the story, or more threads tied up, and was surprised when it just ended after the party.
All in all it was a great ready, and I recommend it.

From the premise alone, I knew I'd love Friday I'm in Love. I've adored Garrett's previous books like Full Disclosure. It's easy to get swept away in the romance of Friday I'm in Love. In the dance parties, sparks across tables, and butterflies. But I think where I loved Friday I'm in Love the most were the themes of family and dreams. The ways Mahalia's has to balance her dreams and her finances. The realities of her economic hardships and those responsibilities.
