Thank you @librofm for this gifted ALC copy! 

This book was fun, relatable, odd, and messy; I really ate it up. I’m not sure what I was expecting from this one because I haven’t read “Such A Fun Age” and I also did that thing where I didn’t read the back cover copy. 

However, I was delighted to find that one of the main characters, Millie, is a college RA. Millie’s experiences with residents was so painfully relatable and I loved reading every second of it. I also really enjoyed watching Millie full embody the meaning of chaotic bisexual. 

The reader is taken through multiple POVs in this book: Millie, a senior RA just trying to graduate and fulfill her dream of owning a home. Agatha, a visiting professor who is taking a break from her wife. And Katherine (I think that’s her name) and overly-anxious college student who desperately wants to fit in with her roommates. The book ends up culminating in a ridiculous climax that is both unbelievable and relatable (especially as a former RA, I look back at that job and honestly cannot believe the shit I did and saw lmfao). 

I will say that if you’re looking for a plot-driven read, this probably won’t be it. I found it to be less plot and more ~vibes~, but the vibes were good nonetheless. 

The book is lighthearted, chaotic, and smartly written while also commenting on racism, class, desire, consumption, and money. 

Reid’s writing is captivating, I found her style so detailed and witty— I really enjoyed this read!
