I wasn't sure whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, but I'm gonna give it 4 stars cause I really really enjoyed the last third of the book. up until like 60% it's not really interesting but that last part is really cool and picks up the pace a lot.
I also found the main character really relatable (in the beginning) and I LOVED the constant Taylor Swift references and the few references here and there of things that I love. (also FINALLY someone appreciates Shawarma, I've been having it since I was a kid since it's very common in my country and it's definitely underappreciated, and same Shane, I knew Shawarma before it was cool because of the avengers too 😭).
I loved the traveling she did when studying abroad and I loved that I read this while studying abroad too (even tho I'm much closer to home than she was).
Even tho I hated their names, I loved Pilot and Babe (like, what the hell are those names?). they were cool characters.
and I also loved the romantic relationship specially in the last part, they were adorable and funny. but I did not like some decisions they made (poor Amy bro, even tho I also didn't really like her because of one specific thing she did).
