I loved this? I went into it expecting it to be perfectly fine but nothing special and what I got was a complete surprise. I wish this book had been written in 2008 because I too believed I could go to college and become an entirely new person and all my problems would vanish into the night! I think most of us thought that!
My biggest problem with Felicity the TV show was always the initial premise of a girl giving up her entire planned future to follow a hot guy she's barely even ever spoken to to college which... you know... is a thing that happens in this book... but it's much more realistic here because this book is grounded in reality and thrives on the fact that life is not a 90s WB drama.
This book was an absolute delight and probably the best/most relatable (to who I was at 18 at least) college based YA I've read. I could almost smell the weird dorm smell. I got a war flashback to drunkely making French toast at 3am and how my floormates and I would always gather to watch our weekly shows.
