![]() ![]() However, there is a lesbian character and perhaps a bi character where a f/f romance develops. And, it's not really a lesfic either since most of the characters are heterosexual and are seeking/developing their own relationships. Any sexual activity is fade-to-black so nothing too racy in that dept. This definitely had a YA feel but there are mature themes explored and it captured the transition from high school to university really well. And there's some ethnic diversity with Liza having a partial Sri Lankan ethnicity. I also liked that this book had "plain" looking characters without perfect bodies. ![]() I was partial to Liza and kept wanting to stay with her. ![]() I think other readers may actually enjoy that aspect. I'm not a fan of ensemble POVs in a book but O'Beirne made it work and I hit my groove about half way through. Sometimes the results are satisfying and sometimes they're not.and I appreciated that the author let things fall the way they did. Four very different from each other and do not know each other 18-year-old girls go on a 5 city travel journey around Europe after graduating high school, with a fifth friend that brought the four together in the first place staying behind at home.Įach character is well-defined and going through her own struggles but nothing is overly dramatic and what is dramatic doesn't necessarily get a rosy, sweet wrap up, either. ![]()
