I called the first one cotton candy fluff and this is a bit deeper. Some of the characters were un-relatable and irritating, and some of them felt very human. Not quite as fun as the first one, but the ending had me GROANING.

Please Send Help is probably the best book I've forgotten I ordered. I pre-ordered it back when they announced it was coming and then, as one does many months later, completely forgot it was a thing until it appeared on my porch. Score one for forgetfulness?
I read and thoroughly enjoyed I Hate Everyone But You, but really loved Please Send Help. It's lacking what I didn't like about Hate (the friendship implosion) while still having relatively realistic conflict and a zillion quotes that I could share but won't because you should just read the book if it sounds at all interesting.
Also, the Florida mocking just tickles me so that's an added bonus.
Full disclosure: I might be a sucker for any book that ends quite so happily where best friends are concerned.

** I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
Two friends find themselves thousands of miles apart after college. They have been each other’s main supports and struggle without one another.
This story is told through emails and text messages.
Ava comes from a wealthy family and has an internship in New York City on a famous late night talk show. She is anxious and makes poor choices with members of the opposite sex.
Gen is working on a newspaper is rural Florida. I’m a bit confused about how she identifies. I believe there is mention she is a lesbian but she mentions having boyfriends in the past as well.
It is a quick read but there were a lot of things that I missed. When a story is only told through texts and emails, there is often something missing. I don’t feel that I got to know either character much. I know a lot about them but I didn’t get to know them.
It’s not terrible but it was just an okay read for me.

Well I finally finished this book after it sat in my currently reading for about 5 months. Anywho! I received an ARC of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is a sequel, which I wasn’t aware when I requested it so because I am the way that I am I went and read the first book. I love Gen and Ava’s friendship and the crazy situations they get themselves into. This is a fairly short read since it’s in text and email format, unless you’re like me and take 5 months to read it. I highly recommend this book as well as the prequel!
