You Can Go Your Own Way by Eric Smith
4.0

This book was completely different than what I expected going in but in the best way! I was expecting a cute and quirky childhood friends to enemies to lovers story with a mix of pinball, video games, and snow storms and while all of those things were a part of the story, it ended up being so much more. This was a book about how grief can change you and force you to grow up at a young age, how friends can drift apart but ultimately come back together when you need them most, about learning that you deserve unconditional love even if you haven’t always been shown that, and learning that letting go of physical things and places doesn’t mean letting go of people and memories. It was a joy to be inside Adam and Whitney’s minds as they discovered all of this and found their way back to each other! I also loved getting to know side characters like Chris and Dana and both Adam’s and Whitney’s moms, they really helped make the story feel full! I definitely recommend this joy of a book for everyone!
