I'm going to give it 3 1/2 stars. I personally think it falls apart in the last 15-20% of the novel. Still a really fun time. And would recommend.
I read it over my lunch break, and putting away novels at the library today. I don't really have anything to say, expect that I love J-Lo I have always. This helped me even more, so yeah. It was a fun read. Audiobook is great even if it was hard to find.
No rating due to a memoir/new memoir favorite.

Was a solid three star read. Don't really have anything else to say.
I want to first thank the author, Katie Wismer, for an ARC copy!! This is my forth book I've gotten to read of hers and its one of my favorites. But they all are. Every single one is written so beautifully. So many times while reading I sat there thinking how beautiful it's written. The story of Jo will sit with me, in a different way than Mare's (MC Of The Anit-Virginty Pact). Mare's was about escape, Jo's was about perseverance. How many things could go wrong in College, well if you'd ask Jo a lot.
I think everything handle from trauma, to reflection past selves, to anxiety, to college life was handle with ease. During many parts of the novel I could relate/feel for what Jo was going through. It was an honest portrayal of a naïve girl going off to college. Finding a best friend (who I want) and a rocker who screams trouble and might just be that.
When we meet Jo in the pervious novel her actions reminded me of those Millers here. No mater what always taking Mare's side. That what Miller does here. No mater what the problem is Miller is there. Saving her time and time again in the best ways. Miller is a character that I want to meet in real-life. To have a best friend like him, like Jo, is spectacular and barely seen in writing. Most of the time the friends are mean like other characters in the book. And yet second time around Wismer surprise me without kind her character can be to someone who just needs help. Someone who just someone in her corner.
If you can't tell I loved it. And will surely be picking up whatever Wismer puts out next.

This just didn't work for me. Which is really disappointing
