I don’t know any 18 year old with that emotional maturity and deep level of introspection… it took me 30 years to get even close to that.
They were fun experiences and cute characters. Way too mature for the age bracket though.
Moderate cursing but definitely a teen feel, even though they were 18 and just out of school… was sort of jarring to know what genre I was in and what level of maturity to expect.
I did enjoy the characters and journey they went on though. They were cute and had fun banter amongst all the friends and various relationship dynamics.

After reading quite a few heavy books in a row, this is definitely what I needed. Something lighter, with adventure and romance. Who doesn't like the best friends to lovers trope, especially when it includes a fun adventure in New York?
While yes, this is a romance, I really appreciated Riley's relationship with her mother and how they were learning how to navigate the fact that Riley has now graduated high school. Riley thinks that this means freedom, where her mom isn't necessarily ready to give that up yet. That's a struggle I think teens will definitely relate to as they've completed one stage of their life and they're ready for the next.
The romance was also well done; and the side characters! The little group of friends Riley and Tom find in New York are absolutely adorable. If you need a fun, summer romance to lift your spirits, definitely pick this one up!

Best friends turn into romance in a sweet story about young adults creating their own lives in NYC. Fun secondary characters help to balance the heaviness of the mom conflicts.
