4.0

Very sweet read about a girl as she struggles to find herself and still meet her family’s expectations after college. I really liked her character because she was flawed in a very relatable way.

Though there is ultimately a happy ending, there’s not this HUGE transformation. She finds a job, she gets the guy, she finds peace with her parents. But the characters themselves are largely the same and will likely continue experiencing interpersonal conflict (I’m not placing bets on her and boy) and it just feels so true to how life goes sometimes. I feel lucky that I was part of this portion of Jasmine’s journey to adulthood and responsibility.
