Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for providing me an eArc of this in exchange for an honest review. 

Y’all. This book. Was so good! Oh my god, I loved every moment of it, it was spectacular in every way, I am internally screaming and have been ever since I put it down. Ellie was amazing and so goddamn relatable and Jack, oh my god I loved her so much. And the side characters! Honestly the love trapezoid was so funny it had me cackling out loud, my friends hate me for all my rambling to them about this book. This is definitely a new favorite, I thought I couldn’t like it more than The Charm Offensive but I loved every second of it, I picked it up and could not put it down, I finished it in two days and it was only because I forced myself to stop reading due to need of sleep. Overall I loved this, it comes out on November 1st and preorder!

This may be one if the best books I read. Unlike the other ones I've loved, this took me a month to finish because as much as I wanted to devour it, I needed it to be the right time, to savor it because whenever I picked it up I fell in love again. It's emotional, deep, it will make you angry but it will also make you fall in love with the characters and the story and it's gorgeous.
