![]() ![]() Leaving the dorm in club gear when nothing else was clean and it reminded me nostalgically of my own distant undergrad days. The situations are small, familiar - getting sick in the germ-fest of close quartersīeing sexually scrutinized by gross dudes ![]() ![]() It's funny, it's charming, it features strong female relationships between wildly dissimilar, believable characters, celebrating that phenomenon that occurs during the first year of college (or "university," since this is british), where everyone's a bit unmoored, on their own for the first time, exploring their options, coming into themselves, and friendships don't necessarily have to have common interests or personalities as their foundation - just proximity, basic compatibility, and some sort of spark that bridges differences.Īnd so begins the story of gothy drama queen esther the artwork still does nothing for me, and is the reason i stubbornly resisted it for so long, but i fell hard for the characters, the story, and the general energy of this book. Seriously - huge props to you people (YOUUUUU PEEEEEOPLE!!) who kept reviewing this book with such praise and pushing it on me and my apologies for not believing you all sooner. I am stunned that i loved this book so much. ![]()
