Nineteen-year-old Claire Pearson knows she needs a life. And some new friends. But brittle, beautiful, and just a little bit too sassy for her own good sometimes, she no longer makes friends easily. And she has no clue where to start on the whole finding a life front, either. Not after a confidence-shattering year dogged by bad break-ups, friends who have become strangers, and her constant failure to meet her parents' sky-high expectations.

When Robbie and Mia walk into Claire's work they seem the least likely people to help her find a life. But despite Claire's initial attempts to alienate them, an unexpected new friendship develops.

And it's the warm, brilliant Mia who seems to get Claire like no one has before. Soon, Claire begins to question her feelings for her new friend.

4¾⭐️/5

Sweet and super slow burn.

I liked:

  • Generally positive, low-drama vibes
  • People just figuring out their lives

Not my jam:

  • Miscommunication due to self-confidence issues
