2.75 ⭐️
This is a generous rounding up to 3 ⭐️. It took me so long to get through this book and it felt tedious many times. This story follows Andie, a transfer to a university that her parents attended and her mother left quite a legacy at. As soon as she arrives she quickly discovers that her boyfriend Connor has actually transferred to the university she just came from. Andie now has to navigate this, make friends, succeed in her difficult classes, get a job and try to collect ribbons for a secret campus club.
What I didn’t like:
-This is a well written story, it’s by no means a “bad book”, I think the author has just never captured the sweetness and fun of Tweet Cute in another story. This is not a lighthearted read, most of it is Andie’s internal dialogue of dealing with grief, rekindling her relationship with her father, questioning her relationship with Connor and hiding her feelings for Milo, while also dealing with her need to constantly solve problems and be pretty much perfect.
-This could’ve been 100 pages shorter. There was honestly just way too much happening in this story that each element was lacking. I needed more friendship with Shay and Val and way more of Andie and Milo and way less of everything else. It felt like all the other topics were brought up here and there but never flushed out enough to be seamless. Andie never mentions any other classes, she’s barely at work, so I don’t know how she has the time for the Knight Watch, her friends and the ribbons.
-I absolutely hated the cheesy food curses. It made an already juvenile feeling story feel so silly and cheesy and drove me nuts
-I didn’t mind Andie as a character but she was my least favourite out of her, Milo, Shay and Val. Her internal dialogue was fine but so repetitive and I think the author wrote a lot of lines, especially about Milo comparing him and the feelings towards him as really deep things that just didn’t match anything.
-Andie’s feelings for Milo at the end were nice but just don’t add up. Milo conveniently popped up allllll the time. But there wasn’t enough of them just hanging out and chatting for feelings to be that strong at the end.
-This put me into a slump and felt so tedious to read, by the end I was so happy it was over. It was just too cheesy and too long.
What I liked:
-The side characters, as mentioned, were well written with good storylines of their own. Milo was a complete sweetheart.
-I liked the little twist at the end with the relationship, didn’t see that coming.
-I liked Andie’s growth, the relationship with her Dad developing, but really she just needed to go to therapy.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.
