This book left me feeling warm, welcomed and loved. Jo and Sophie are such cute characters who I loved getting acquainted with. Ann Zhao is a profound writer, so there is not much to critique with this one. I hope to read more!

I have been eagerly awaiting this book since it was announced, and I am so happy to say it more than delivered on all my expectations and hopes! A fantastic addition to the a-spec literary canon, I wholeheartedly believe this book will change lives.

I did not love this book. I think the setting: a small Eastern liberal arts college, was just too specific for me. The concerns and issues of the characters did not interest me that much, and I wasn't fond of the constant Instagram back and forth. I'm sure some readers would like this, particularly if they are college age and economically advantaged. It probably would not appeal to many readers in my location.
