3.5 ⭐I enjoyed it. Not my favorite, it is a bit of a ramble until the action happens in the second half. But I laughed a lot during the rambling so I thought it was ok. It felt like a very accurate portrayal of dorm life. I would have given it 4 stars but the second half plotline with Agatha bored me and I wished more happened with the Kennedy plotline instead.
