This book was FULL of uni memories for me, it was such a beautifully nostalgic read. And that's actually kind of heartbreaking to think I finished my second year five years ago! Where does the time go?
But anyway, the book is written in third person with equal amount of focus on each of the five girls. The beginning was slightly confusing but I soon learnt the names and personalities of each of the girls and thoroughly began to enjoy the novel.
The main characters reminded me of my own best friends at uni, who are still a huge part of my life. There's the girl with the crazy ex, the friend you're convinced is secretly gay or bi but hasn't officially come out, the timid goody two shoes (or in my case, that's me..), the confident 'looks like she has life sorted' gal and there's the wild party chick who's always the first to suggest vodka shots and a night out!
This book is bursting with women supporting women, which is exactly what young girls need to be reading and for the notion to be seen as a powerful and positive thing.
For me, a girl who struggled through her uni years, I felt very connected to the character Ella. All of the characters were relatable in some way or another but Ella felt like a carbon copy of my uni days. I'm convinced that most young women who experienced university would find their character in this novel.
It's a fun, mostly light-hearted read that sheds some light on the various struggles young girls experience whilst away at university. And I would definitely recommend picking up a copy and giving it a read.
