ARC received for an honest review

I am a big fan of The Manhattanites series by Avery Aster, so I absolutely love these snippets into the earlier years of Lex, Taddy, Vive and Blake.

As big, bold and brassy as the are now, it is great to see the teenage side of them.

This is Blake's story, and boy do I love this boy. I love seeing his shy side, the love he has for his family and his BFF, VBF and BFFL (aka as his ladies). I adore his relationship with his best friend Thor, the love of his family.

And who will be the man to win his heart?

With the first couple of Undergrad books, there sure seems to have been a fair amount of bad luck amongst the group, but as this story unfolds we see that there may be more than meets the eyes.

This story had fun and laughter, but also so much sadness and tears.

Now I can't wait for more Undergrads and Manhattanites books!
