This is going to be the saddest review I’ve ever written.

I didn’t love an Emma Lord story. It’s well written, and I’m sure people will love it. But I didn’t connect with the characters or the story. This very much felt like an ode to New York, which is fine, but that didn’t do much for me. It somehow felt kind of scattered too?
I appreciate the friendships though!
I truly think others will love this. Lord will still be an automatic buy for me and I’ll love her work regardless.

Everything that Emma Lord writes is amazing and this is no exception. I won’t share much about plot , since I think they’re best discovered on your own, but this book managed to perfectly balance interesting character developments for both main and romance the whole way through. If you need a YA romance pick me up, I highly recommend this one!

A special thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press & Wednesday Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
