90 Days of Different by Eric Walters
4.0

90 Days of Different is a story about friendship, growth, and finding oneself. It follows the adventures of best friends Sophie and Ella during their last summer before college. After Sophie is dumped for her predictability and boringness Ella comes up with a plan to help Sophie step out of her comfort zone and find herself. Throughout Eric Walters’s novel you follow their adventure as the summer progresses and you see how each “different” changes Sophie (and Ella’s) perspective and sense of self. There adventures were not always realistic but their relationship was something I could relate to, as it is a lot like my relationship with my best friend. Where we push and encourage one another to step out of our comfort zones and try something new.

Overall the novel is a cute, light hearted read full of nerdy references and sassy remarks. Each “chapter” is one day in their adventures so some are obviously longer and more detailed than others. Some of the adventures felt rushed, there could have been more expansion on what was going on and how it affected the leading ladies. But for the most part it was a great quick read. The use of social media throughout the novel, and the 90 days leading up to its release, is a great aspect as it connects with the current generation and their daily habits.

Thank you Orca Book Publishers for giving me a change to read and review this novel.
