Finding Felicity by Stacey Kade
3.0
3.5 stars
This was a super fun, super quick read. I love that we’re seeing so many more college YA books this year and I thought Finding Felicity was an excellent addition. I thought Caroline was a relatable MC and it’s was so easy to follow her just trying to live her life - goingo college, crushing on a guy, dealing with awkwardness and insecurities. I also really liked the seeing Caroline in therapy and talking about her social anxiety and introvert personality, I felt like it was very respectful to her feelings. I liked that we get to know so many characters (Lexi, Liam, Del, Jordan, Tory)- we don’t just see them in passing, we spend time with them and grow to care about them like Caroline does. Caroline’s intense fandom love of Felicity was also really fun to read about. One thing that did annoy me, was I felt like Caroline’s mom really made the whole situation about her instead of Caroline’s feelings. Overall this was an enjoyable contemporary.
I received a copy of the book from Simon & Schuster BFYR via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
“What’s wring with reality?”
“Nothing,” I say in a small voice. Unless your reality sucks. Then what’s wrong with wanting something more or better?
