Unlike others, I liked this more than the first book, probably because I find YA about type A students kind of tiresome. Also, it's so relatable in its depiction of the highs and lows of beginning college. I really liked how it interrogated what the HEA looks like for a very young couple, with honestly and hopefulness.

Today I'm partially in Manhattan, partially in Boston, and occasionally in Seattle, navigating the complexities of the first year of college and long-distance love.

For the movie buffs:
My brother and I were watching some action movie and there was a huge gun fight with dust and gun powder everywhere, and we were wondering why no one was sneezing. I said that would be a great scene for the next Boondock Saints. My brother says, without missing a beat, says “Boondock Saints 3: God Bless You“
pickIt was so touching. Very interesting topic. It is so sad that Elizabeth sadly passed away and we cannot read new writngs from her.
so-soMemoir from the author about 2 years in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s. It was a quick read so I finished it but was left feeling a bit nonplussed. I don't feel that I got any insight about the author at all, & I agree with another reviewer who says it all just feels rather empty. Most readers seemed to really like this one but whatever they saw, I just didn't connect with it. 2.5⭐
pick3.5/5 🌟
This started strongly with a compelling look at mental illness and the bond between twin brothers. However, the relentless misfortunes made the narrative feel forced and overly dramatic. An okay read overall.
1. I‘m tired. I didn‘t get enough sleep last night and I found another leak in my shower last night. Water is leaking through the shower floor and it created a hole in the grout. My mom thinks it has something to do with the shower drain when the contractors built the shower.
2. Tagged! The teen girl in this book has depression so her mom makes her a cake for 100 days to make her feel better. I liked this book.
