Book Review: YOLO by Lauren Myracle

I was so excited to see a fourth installment to this series. I read it a few years ago and loved it, I was sad to see it end after three books. I think the author did a fantastic job with this book as well and would LOVE to see her continue the series. It's so much fun to read books written epistolary form. For me, it makes me feel like I'm right there in the characters' lives more so than when a book is written as a narrative - even when it's the main character narrating. 

I honestly think this is an excellent book for girls to read while still in high school as it takes on some of the more serious aspects of college life - depression, date rape, horrible professors, hazing, etc. Facing things like that can be a real wake up call for some kids and reading this would hopefully help them to realize it may not be all partying and fun all the time. 

It's a quick read, an excellent read, and honestly, could be read on its own, but I highly recommend reading the whole series.
