A Hungry, Happy, Hippie

I will be the first to admit I didn't like All The Bright Places , so picking up Holding Up the Universe was a leap of faith. But I surprisingly really really liked it. I just wanted to cry with how much I liked it and how great it was. I don't have a bad word to say about it. My favourite thing about this book was the diverse characters. Both Libby and Jack are very different from your stereotypical protagonist.

I can't wait to see who Nick falls in love with. I just AH I'm so excited. This year the girls were less crazy when it came to limo exits. Which I don't  know if I like or not. But I feel as if Dolphin Girl made up for that. And that girl on the camel. And the 15 girls dressed in red. Which I found so f
