Can't Say it Went to Plan by Gabrielle Tozer
4.0
This book follows 3 different girls as they head out on a dream holiday with their friends to celebrate the end of school. They may be strangers, but they each have a specific goal behind their trip. The book is broken down by day, with the narrative switching between the 3 girls. Over the course of a week, they are each forced to face some deep issues, and find themselves in the process.
At first, I had trouble keeping up with the 3 different storylines. It jumps around a lot each day and it was hard to keep their stories straight. But soon I found myself wrapped up in their stories and wanting to see them succeed. The storylines touched on a lot of difficult angsty teen feelings and situations, as well as deeper emotions like grief and loss. I found myself caring about the characters toward the end, and I enjoyed the way their stories overlapped but didn't become one. The ending was inspirational, and celebrated the wide open blank slate of finishing school.
