* HarperCollins Canada sent me an ARC of Top Ten in exchange for an honest review.

Top Ten was a charming and quick contemporary read. I thoroughly enjoyed the pacing and the storyline of this book. I specifically enjoyed how well Katie Cotugno wrote about anxiety and the difficulties that come with concussions. Both of these aspects deepened the characters and really showed their flaws, which was quite refreshing. I also loved that the book was a top ten look at moments from the characters four years of high school. It was interesting to see how Cotugno weaved in other top ten moments within each chapter, such as top ten non-touristy things to do in new York.

The ending was not what I expected and was a little bit of a let down. However, I feel like it was the proper ending for this book and it definitely highlighted the natural progression of these characters throughout their storyline.

Overall, this was a really enjoyable book and I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, contemporary book. Definitely a great summer read, or for those looking for a book with a nostalgic look back at high school.
