Great survival guide to college!

Read this for my IRL book club & it‘s not bad, it just doesn‘t stand out from other books about a young college woman who starts an affair with her married writing professor only to see most everything get complicated really fast. It‘s a familiar story & while it addresses serious issues—power dynamics, consent, assault, integrity, jealousy—the execution is not as good as I hoped. Not a fav of mine unlike my friends who loved & recommended it.

This was fine.. I needed more plot.

Title update: My Last Innocent — and incredibly boring — year.

The best thing about this book is the cover.

I preordered this coming of age story because I liked the cover and it sounded interesting. I‘m glad I did because I really liked the story and the characters. I would‘ve finished sooner but I haven‘t been getting much reading time lately.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Up next is The Writing Retreat.
#ThingsInCommon The main character is a writer.
Both books released in February 2023.

I didn‘t get to read yesterday. Starting off April and #ThingsInCommon with this.

3⭐️ This started well; I like to be inside campus story set in 1998, and I‘m just a year younger than the protagonist Isabel Rosen. So many tangents in this book but the base is her two sexual relationships with a fellow student and her prof. I wish the author just focused and dug deeper on one or two topics, because her effort to cover everything made the last quarter of the book messy and rushed.
