Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents...sounds ideal -- but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance...what's that?
Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change -- there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a sem ...more

I mean, the review says one of the characters screw up so maybe it's about the aftermath of that?

You fool..........that's the only way you do college.

OKAY UPDATE; THIS COVER IS FUCKING AMAZING
Christine isn't my favourite Booktuber, but she basically single handedly started Booktube and that's pretty fucking awesome. And she's been working on this for years - even though we all KNOW because of her following she could of got it published ages ago. I totally respect the work & dedication that has obviously gone into this.
Plus I think the title is so catchy and fun

Still need to read the final draft, but it's a five star from me! 100 STARS FROM ME! So much love and pride for my best friend!

“If you could go back and do London all over again, knowing everything you know now, would you do it?”
Friends, I wanted to love this so badly. So damn badly. Christine is not only the actual Queen of BookTube, she was one of the first channels I ever watched. She just seems so kind, and genuine, and I always feel like she radiates positive energy, and she was such a massive part of why I wanted to read Shadowhunters in the first place. But this revie ...more

Saw some Discourse TM on twitter and wanted to throw in my 2 cents that no one will probably read but I just wanted to throw out this perspective anyway. Putting it under a spoiler cut so you don't have to see it if you don't want to. :P

Booktubers books are usually a controversial topic. I'm of the mindset that I should give things a fair chance.
This synopsis does appeal to me, as I'm in college myself and I'm always wondering if I'm being social enough haha so I'll probably give this book a chance and see what Christine has to say.

You best believe I'm gonna be supporting someone in our community who has spent the past 2 years working her ass off on this book .
And you best believe I'm side-eyeing all of you who are saying she only got published "because of her following".

If Christine Riccio were a book, she would definitely be this one.

I received an ARC of ABB at YALLFest, and after I started reading it I couldn’t stop. I finished it 24 hours later and plan to re-read it again soon! I love the main character Shane a LOT and I identify with her in so many ways. Her inner monologue and thought processes are so similar to my own so it was extremely easy for me to connect with her! All of the characters in this book are amazing and I love them so much! I experienced so many emotions when reading this book. It made me laugh, scream

I am reading this just because Christine wrote it, because she is an amazing person.
Part 1- 4 stars
Part 2- 5 stars
Final rating- 4.5 stars
Okay so I tried to completely separate Christine from my mind while reading this but the fact is, you can't. Christine is all over this book (I mean of course she is) but with Shane's likes and dislikes, if you are a viewer of her's, you're gonna pick up on all these things. Putting that aside, if you aren't a viewer, you can still thoroughly enjoy this book. I feel like I can't say much without spoiling the book but if you are a fan of Rainbo ...more

Ooh, I'm glad she's decided to go the college route with this one, instead of the usual high school setting that's been done 1000000 times before in YA.
Also, I'm kind of digging the cover.

I LOVEEEEEE CHRISTINE SO MUCH, I'M SO HAPPY FOR HER.
Full review coming later! This was a solid debut, but not a new favorite, and I did have some issues with the romance.

I enjoyed this so much!! I have visited Christine Riccio's YouTube Channel occasionally over the years and I always loved her bubbly personality and her effortless ability to entertain. I knew she had been working on a book for ages, so when I saw this was available for preview- I could not wait to get my hands on it.

Christine's actually one of my favorite BookTubers (back when I still watched BookTube). Not sure what to expect from her writing, but hopefully it's as funny as she is in her videos!

Again, But Better
(As in Try It Again, But Better)
Oh god, the tittle sounds amazing. I'm so freakishly excited to read this. I love Christine, I love her videos and her humor, but above it all, I love the passion and dedication she has put on this book for the last TWO years. All her effort is paying off.
