This book was kindly provided by netgalley for an honest review. 
 After I finished this book, I took my time and check the rating and reviews. I think is sad the rating is this low. But I could understand the issues many have with this book. 
 You see, I still remember 21 year old me. And 21 year old best friends. After all, it was a little more than a decade ago. I'm not a bitter old lady, and I don't plan to be one. Ever. 
 I don't recall that level of...silliness, irresponsibility, confusion...it wasn't like that. Is not like that. This book..it was too much. Too much inner dialogue, too much confusion, too much childish attitude. And hell...at times, even too much alcohol. I couldn't relate to anyone. And I believe that is important in a book. 
 At 21 I was engaged. Had two jobs. College. And a level headed attitude I know is not rare this days. Yes some can be more inmature. But in this book it was an exaggeration. Like a parody. If this is a comedy, then I can understand. But I also read the author's explanation and I sadly, disagree with her. I've meet 21 one years old. I remember myself at that age. And nope. We weren't like that. Maybe in middle school? Some late bloomers in high school? We make silly decisions, we mess up. Yep. But not like this. 
 Another thing. I could have ignored all the stuff I mentioned above if Riley would have some redeem qualities. I found none. No self respect. No intelligence there. No strength. No goals. Max, was cute at times, I need to say it. He was cute. But then he would think some things about her that made me ask myself why he loved her. 
 And then, it ended. Kind of abruptly. 
 Now with that rant finished. I need to say, this book is not bad. I just believe(which I accept it doesn't make what I'm about to say, a fact) that this author simply needed someone sincere to point out the issues many are having with it. I see potential. It needed more balance and more...realism. Deep. I see talent and I see she is good at witty. I love that in a story. 
 So, this one is not a favorite, obviously. But it won't make me ignore this author in the future. We read the criticism and we grow, I hope it happens in this case. Because I truly believe she can do better. 
 I always feel guilt when I write a review that is not positive. But, yeah, is better than hate myself because I lied.
