Wow - what a moving read! From the first few pages, I was hooked and finished this in two sittings...it would have been one if I hadn't started it so late in the evening! In "Thirsty", Blake shares her summer before her freshman year of college spending time exploring her relationships and completing tasks in hopes of joining the highly regarded Serena Society; the more she learns and discovers, the more she turns to alcohol. This book covered so many important themes like love, feminism, identity, and addiction that readers of any age could learn from and appreciate. I also loved the inclusivity and diversity - it felt authentic and real, unlike a lot of novels I've read which seem to sprinkle in POC or LQBTQ+ characters to check off a box rather than to raise their voices. Blake's character arc was fantastic and led to one of the most satisfying endings I've read in a long time. Thank you so much for this ARC - it's one I'll be thinking about for a while!
