After enjoying one of Jen Lancaster’s other fiction novels, I was pleased that she had yet again written the story from multiple points of view with chapters being written from each of the three protagonist’s points of view. The premise was interesting and different, although there were some things about American university culture I didn’t fully understand. I enjoyed the development of each character and how they overcame their life struggles together - a theme I enjoyed in Lancaster’s other novel. Fun, fairly straightforward and enjoyable with largely likeable characters, this is an easy-going read.
