Really surprised by this book. I have put off reading for years now and idk why when the pitch is essentially “British grown up gossip girls.” Actually really heartfelt and powerful lines about love… especially the tension between love being this magical thing we’re all looking for, how special connections can be, and the reality that something can be love and also not good for you. I inhaled this and just wondering why it took me so long to read these. 

Can’t wait for Daisy’s story. Big fan of Julian too.

Gotta say… love BJ the mess that he is but I was rooting for Tom.
