this is cute and full of that EL charm that i have come to know and adore. this is book #4 for EL and she has come to proven herself as a reliable and consistent creator of warm YA stories that are full of heart and personality.
and this one has every page filled with new college adventures, making the most of dorm living, creating a found family, finding new hobbies, personal growth and forgiving the past. so much good content wrapped up in a fun story.
however, this book commits one of my greatest pet-peeves when it comes to characterisation and thats when a MC uses “cute” language as a substitute for swearing. in this case, andie uses her favourite food. and let me tell you what - its obnoxious. i didnt find it endearing or quirky, i actually found it really lame. lol.
but beyond those eye rolls, this actually is a really sweet story and a great addition to ELs bibliography!
thank you, st. martins press/wednesday books, for the ARC!!
↠ 3.5 stars

well, I’ll have to check out her other books while waiting for this to be published! I’m in the mood for a cute story. I agree though, cussing substitutes are rather annoying.

my favourite book of hers is her debut, 'tweet cute.' so if you havent read that one, i highly recommend it!
The substitutions for swearing were cringe worthy! They got more and more ridiculous as it went on.
I couldn’t deal with the swearing substitutes either omfg
Ah same here, tweet cute is the best, this was a cool read but her swearing substitutes were not it🙃
