It was complex, which fantastically stood out because sometimes college romances aren’t as layered or deep as I like. This book was emotionally driven and focused on character building with their interpersonal connections. I fucking love a good party scene followed by a hanging-out-on-the-couch-hungover scene the day after. There are parties, smexy boys, sports (but those are kept to a minimum), drinking, and regular college antics in this book, which is something I enjoy heavily in real life lol. Their dynamic is playful and fun, with the aura of deeply rooted love for one another it was insane how well written the interactions between the core 5 characters are. This book did not disappoint, and was 100% worth the hype that surrounds it. The summary on Goodreads and the back of the book didn’t give much away, so it was interesting to go in blind, especially after hearing great things about it all over Bookstagram. Going into this book, I didn’t know anything about it. After a soul-crushing rejection, Arianna goes into her freshman year depressed and wanting to isolate herself, until she meets him– Noah. “Say You Swear” by Meagan Brandy follows Arianna and her close-knit group of friends including her twin brother Mason, best friends Chase and Brady, and her best girl-friend Cameron through going into college coming off from summer break.
