5.0

I loved this SO MUCH. Finishing this put me in a bit of a slump because I just want more of these characters. 

I saw some reviews talking about how they thought this was a romance book, but it’s not, and they were disappointed. I very much disagree, I knew this was lit fic but all the romantic relationships were lovely and ended well. They were written in a realistic and raw manner that had me crying throughout the entire book. 

The main character’s growth was inspiring and relatable. I also love the emphasis on friendship and how important maintaining those relationships is throughout your 20s. The ending had me crying happy tears, I already want to re-read this.
