But How Are You, Really by Ella Dawson
4.0
reflective medium-paced
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Thank you Dutton and NetGalley for the eARC of But How Are You, Really.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I feel like I have been reading a lot of books centered around a reunion lately.  This one reminded me of The Devil Wears Prada but set a college reunion.

But How Are You, Really explores the unease at seeing people you may not have had the best endings with and how going back to a place can take you back in time. While I did enjoy it, I definitely felt the anxiety of the main character through some of her experiences.  Overall, this ended up being a sweet story about how you can rely on your friends to help you when you are down.
