ARC received for an honest review

Not going to lie, I was a little bit wary when I picked up this book - nothing to do with the book or the author, just because it is YA and I am an old fart.

But it is Samantha Young, and she has never steered me wrong yet. And she still hasn't with The Impossible Vastness of Us.

From the first moment we meet I was hooked. We learn she has been through hell, but she has found her place in the world and is rocking it. When the rug is pulled from under her my heart broke a little bit more.

It is like she walks into the middle of Gossip Girl - rich, entitled mean girls and the guys who just want to get some from her. But things aren't always what they seem.

As we delve into their stories and scratch beneath the surface there is so much more going on. They are dealing with real problems, fighting their own very real battles. However it is not all mean girls and heartache, there are plenty of light, sweet, funny moments too.

The Impossible Vastness Of Us had this old blogger reminiscing of high school (god I hated high school so so much) and cheering on India, Eloise and Finn as they navigate their way.

I would love to revisit these characters some time down the track
