Description
A situationship, a heartbreak, a mistake—you can call it what you want. But was it love?
It's 2016, and Sloane Hart's senior year of college is bound to be the best one yet. Her nights consist of drinking cheap vodka and singing along to The Chainsmokers with her friends, and her days are spent writing as she prepares for the post-grad life in New York City she's always dreamed of.
The last thing she needs is for a guy to get in the way of her goals. With graduation so close, she just needs to focus on landing a job and enjoying this last year with her best friends all under one roof. But that plan becomes a little more complicated when her upstairs neighbor, Ethan Brady, enters the picture.
Ethan's pull is undeniable. He's tall, mysterious, and handsome as hell, and when Sloane is with him, the entire world slows to a halt. But Ethan's guarded past is too hurtful for him to face, and if letting Sloane in means that the walls he's built around his heart would come crumbling down, he may not be willing to let that happen.
As their chemistry and connection intensify, Sloane finds herself falling deeper and deeper, but will Ethan ever be ready to catch her?
Nostalgic, heartfelt, and profoundly cathartic, Call It What You Want is an ode to almost-love stories—the kinds with no labels, no promises, and the potential to turn your entire world upside down.

I absolutely adored this novel! It was a gut wrenching, character driven, relatable, and powerful novel with an important message. It means a lot to me and I loved it so much!!
This book felt like watching a hallmark movie where the Female Main Character is going through something in her personal life and talks about her first kiss, first person she fell in love with in college and to move on, dated another person but It was not the same and then her ex came back and she cheated on her boyfriend. After a few months, she realised she lost herself in him so she fresh start her life.
I loved the characters not all but some were really affectionate. I liked Sloane’s best friend and roommate. I liked how Ethan and Sloane met. The pace of the story was good and the book is touching, heartwarming, reminiscing with some heartbreaking memories. The backstories of Sloane & Ethan were touching. The author has described separation of parents, going through the mess, relationships, college life, first kiss and first love so well. I was happy for Sloane when she got her dream job. It gave me hope when Ethan came to New York but deep inside I knew, they are not going to be together. I am happy Sloane realised that she lost the parts of her in person who was not capable of loving her the way she did him.
Thanks to Author, Publisher and Netgalley.
