Again, but Better

by Christine Riccio

Things I liked:
- The parts that focused on her classes and internship. I recently started a new job, and I'm improving my grades so I can get into the university of my dreams, and parts of this book were very relevant to my interests right now. I loved reading about Shane taking her responsibilities seriously and trying to find her place in the world.
- The cover art is VERY cute, and fits the storyline so well

Things I disliked:
- Shane instantly falling for - and going after - a guy in a relationship
- Pilot not dealing with his relationship at all (seriously, who tries to breakup with their girlfriend after three months, and when she says no, they decide to stay together for another six rocky years even though they never had a great relationship to begin with??? Who breaks up with someone over voicemail and deletes all incoming communication without confirming that she knows they're broken up????)
- Shane hypocritically slapping Chad for trying to kiss her when she's with Pilot, even though she's been literally trying to kiss Pilot for the entire book
- The ridiculous names. Babe, Atticus, Pilot Penn(!!), the Chad character literally being named Chad
- All the dated pop culture references, and the constant song lyrics
- Shane's parents are absolutely horrible, and with Christine drawing so much inspiration from her personal life, I'm genuinely concerned for her well-being
