After gushing about this book in my January reading wrap-up, I needed to do a quick update with one critique that I found written on the back of a receipt in my purse. :)

Very overdue in talking about my reading in the semifinals round of the BookTube Prize, which ended July 30! I really enjoyed How Beautiful We Were, but it didnt end up being a 5-star book for me (more later when I do my rankings video!).
