Oh Nadine Nadine Nadine please make better choices 😭  also I’m sorry but if one of my best friends kissed my boyfriend and my other best friend wasn’t automatically on my side I would not be as quick to forgive them both as Ellie was

Having now re-read all the books in the series, I can't say I've completely enjoyed the experience. I thought this last book was slightly better than Girls Out Late but not by much. The characters constantly make terrible decisions, which I'm aware is intentional but makes for a frustrating reading experience.
What really stuck out to me in this one was Ellie's dad being completely unsupportive. And Russell is still the worst.
I'm obviously not the target audience anymore and I know I felt differently as a teenager. However I don't always think Wilson handles the themes in the most sensitive way so it makes me wonder what the sequel will be like. I'm not really expecting the Girls to behave in a mature way, even if they're adults.
