There were some truly raw and real issues that I feel they could have dived deeper into, but I guess that wasn't the goal. Which is fine, but it takes away from my overall enjoyment a bit. A fun and fast read. ( ) Ava Helmer and Genevieve Goldman have been best friends forever, growing up in Santa Monica, California. Now they're headed off to college--on opposite sides of the country. Ava is attending a University of California campus near home, as a film major. Gen is headed to Boston, to attend Emerson College and become a journalist. Being Gen Z new adults, that's no reason for them not to be in constant contact with each other. They're going to document their lives, multiple times a day, in texts, emails, and Instagram. Ava is anxious and insecure, with mental health issues she's dealt with all her life. College life creates new stresses, with a hunt for a new stable equilibrium. Gen is seemingly calmer, more confident, more outgoing--but she has her own issues, including an alcoholic father, a mother who enables him, and something I can deeply, personally relate to: Her parents, not necessarily intentionally, very much favor her younger sister. (This is not a good thing to do to either of your kids. Just saying.) A continent apart, they go through living away from home, dorm life, first loves, and struggles with the challenges of actually pursuing their career dreams. For one of them, there's the small matter of coming out, and for the other, learning how to relate to that as an adult friend. And they grow and change. Will their friendship survive the changes? It's a fun book, even if I can relate to Ava's mental health issues and Gen's parent and sister issues a little too well. Recommended if you like young adult contemporary fiction. I bought this audiobook. I had so much fun reading this book! It reminded me of my best friend & I constantly, and I really appreciated the acknowledgement of the complexity of issues that first-year college students often face. From figuring out who they are in a new community, to coming out as queer to your BFF, to mental health challenges, Gaby & Alli did an incredible job of keeping the tone realistic, light-hearted, and relatable. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
