✨On a Wednesday in a cafe I was like GIRL DUMP HIM for your RA✨



~ I was also like omg please just cheat already 😭 (they didn’t but my conscience would’ve been clean if they had 💅**) ~



YA is my comfort genre because of books like these. Milo was so cute I want to dunk him in my coffee. I loved the semi-forbidden RA vibes. I REALLY loved her found friend group and they really made the book all warm and cozy. Andie had her flaws and blind spots, but I really loved her as a main character.



She was a mess (same) and this book kissed the line of emotional cheating but the correct vibes and teenage drama were there so I can’t complain. Her boyfriend lasted too long for comfort in my book, but it was nice to see her shift away from him and grow. I was also hoping that it would end like it did because I love a saucy bit of drama.



I think I wanted a bit more from Andie and Milo at the end, because it was SO slow burn. This is usually the case in YA, as most times they don’t get together at all until the end, unlike adult where they’re smoochin all over the place (at least the romance I like to read).



Overall, Taylor Swift is strong in this one. I highlighted multiple song titles and need to reread because I’ll inevitably pick out more. I’m a big fan of Emma’s writing and I’m so thrilled that I really liked this one. My college experience was pretty different than Andie’s, which is both good and bad. Good because I never had to take stats. Bad because I never met a Milo. Now that I think of it, the no stats thing is worth a lot.



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5



**sometimes it works like you KNOW I wanted them to get in AWN in Leap Year…I am who I am and what I am is a hypocrite, yes, but it’s fine



Thanks to the publisher via NetGalley for an eARC. All opinions are honest and my own.



CWs: parent death (mother)(cancer), parent death (father)(car accident), cheating, failing tests (I didn’t know this was triggering until I got way too stressed about her grades omg)
