Can't Say it Went to Plan by Gabrielle Tozer
3.0
TW: bullying, toxic friendships
This book focuses around Zoe, Samira and Dahlia three teenagers on "schoolies week" after completing secondary school. Zoe, Samira and Dahlia all arrived separately with their respective friends, however their lives intertwine throughout the story as they all experience some form of heartache immediately prior, or during their week. To be young and carefree and to have no rules for the next week again, oh how it took me back!
This was a fun and easy read, however it did take me to the middle of the book to wrap my head around all the different names and who connected with which group. Apart from being easily confused in the beginning, I started to understand more of each teenager and their experiences through the week and did enjoy it overall. It was light, emotional, and a rollercoaster of emotions. Just the book I needed after a heavy week of work!
