4 stars because some are just repeats; but a lot of these I find myself thinking and saying. Read this sitting in the library on the floor in front of the shelf :)

A quick read. So real & truthful for our generation and society today. Easy to digest, simple writing yet it hits you.

Quick, short and good. I will include my fav quote “don’t rush into a relationship, be friends first. Maybe they have hotter friends.”

Preach.
