This is a DEBUT?!!! The way Tracy made the characters THE MOST relatable had me drawing on my own fond memories of college. Anyone that’s been involved in a student ministry will have an instant connection to this storyline.
The characters were real, like people I’d want to hang out with and friends I’d want to have in college. I saw bit and pieces of myself, my college roommates, and my college flings *cough* Aaron *cough* in the characters. I have multiple journals worth of melodramatic worry and young adult angst that made me feel completely seen by the female main character. The struggles and fears were real and appropriate for the characters’ life stages and I absolutely admired how healthy all the relationships were. No toxicity to be found in the friend group and no reproach to be sniffed in the love interest.
Additionally, I loved how the Christianity aspect and faith components weren’t overdone and cheesy, the setting and extracurricular activities the characters were involved in made it all seem like a natural part of the narrative. The swoon factor was off the charts and I silly grinned my way through the majority of the book. Only singing the highest praises for this romcom!
Edit: Since reading this very first book, Tracy has become a real life friend of mine! I love getting to see her at her book release events, and I’ve done a couple of book cover designs for her too!
